As someone slightly to the "left" (whatever that means, but you probably get the gist) within the Anglican church, I wonder: Would we take your post seriously enough that we would approach some of the churches who have left the Anglican Church (as we know it) and let them know (sincerely! unmistakably sincerely! Incontrovertibly sincerely!) how sorry we are that we couldn't find a way to ensure they knew we welcomed and valued them in our midst too, even though we disagreed with their views?nancy (aka moneycoach)http://www.nancyzimmerman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912616867175316170.post-30753117159638477672009-06-15T15:43:43.987-07:002009-06-15T15:43:43.987-07:00"A church that fails to heed Obama’s unifying..."A church that fails to heed Obama’s unifying vision will be judged for the division and violence it sows."<br /><br />What a sad reflection of us who still believe in Christ's message of love to all and for us to spread the word to our neighbours. To invite them to our church family so they can grow and live eternally and to know that He will protect you now on earth, will cause your love to make your family shine, to make you grow in ways you do not know.<br /><br />Mr Obama’s message was to use his position to ask diverse secular leaders in the world including religious leaders to unite our differences , to forgive each other, to move away from eons old issues so we could all move forward and craft a better world.<br />A better world that might fall amoungst us because of climate, food shortage, water shortage, medicine for AIDS/ HIV , children's illness, finances.<br />Yet all this is preventable by sharing, by working together, by companies and governments knowing we are one large earth family who can live in peace and help each other.<br />Yes, as Christians we have a duty and a message and we need to move beyond our isolated NIMYB complaints.<br />Otherwise how can we show Christ's love to around us and our families.<br />Who are we to say that Christ cannot have us work with other faiths to save this world. If not then how do we reach out and we need to remember that Christ is the messenger, we are his servants.<br /><br />Cheers<br />RobRob Hnoreply@blogger.com
