Pray for General Synod
Just a quickie – for those of you who are the praying sort, do send up a few for the Church of England's General Synod meetings.
I'm praying they will get back to the basics of defending the faith actually delivered by the forefathers, on subjects like Jesus, Atonement, homosexuality etc.
Thanks Nazaroo. Interesting that you put homosexulaity together with Jesus and atonement - and I don't think atonement as such is denied by many, but of course, there are various models for understanidng it.
But basically, I am with you - a fresh grasp of orthodox Christology and soteriology is key to the reform of the church.
Okay, I'm praying, praying, praying.
