Bishops Address

The address really has been good. “For God’s Sake we must threaten this world with Resurrection” great quote from bishop Christopher .  The main point has been basically the Radical Center ideas of Scott Jones.  A concerted effort has been made to move us away from hard left and hard right political thinking, towards a “different way” of conferencing.  Its been very profound.

I was a little sad to see one of the confessing movement or IRD flyers take a swipe at Bishop Huie’s sermon from yesterday.  I felt it was very good and fair.  Basically same theme as today – move to center focus on things we can agree are a crisis, etc.  I may not be in total theological agreement with Bishop Huie but clearly the bishops are making a concerted effort to be the bishops of the Whole Church and I just don’t think taking swipes at them in this environment will advance the cause of orthodoxy – in fact it may backfire.  Its crucial as the representatives of traditional authority come into power in the denomination, there is a change in the language and tone of approach.
