What happens to the church, or a Communion, when it takes its eyes off Christ.
Tobias, I give you A+ for your effort to explain the Anglican Covenant to your congregation. The members of your church will be better informed than most people in the pews in Episcopal Churches.
Thanks, Mimi. For St James this is important, as so many members come from other parts of the Communion -- in fact from areas where I would not be so welcome! The other interesting thing about this sermon is that it evoked comments about some disagreements in the parish, which was partly my intent!
Comments are welcome, but: I ask you to identify yourself, and to • avoid mere contradiction or assertion; give reasons for disagreement • stay with the topic of the post. Your words are yours but I reserve the right to cite them or refer to them in other contexts. I will not post comments that are irrelevant or offensive. Note that Blogger limits comments to 4,096 characters.
