    A disappointing Christological homily at Guildford Cathedral, and the importance of stressing the deity of Christ

    I particularly like Guildford Cathedral for their music program, and was excited last week to hear a Christological sermon by the celebrant. However, on hearing it, I was disappointed, because rather than stressing the deity of Christ, she managed to inadvertently imply Arianism, through two...

    "preaching And Teaching"

    "Teaching scriptures from a spiritual context to those who are not born-again is like teaching caterpillars about the life of a butterfly.

    What would you think of a non-Baptist pastor who uses the pulpit to make fun of Baptists?

    The pastor has a dry sense of humor and tries to be funny while keeping a straight face. Much of the congregation laughs, but not all. There's no way to know to what extent he's joking, or to have any idea why he's picking on Baptists rather than other denominations cause he never elaborates...

    The major church ministry this Christmas is to single moms in the city. The pastor decided to share some of the emails the church had received from people who knew about the effort, but were cynical. One man said, "How about single dads?" Another said, "You just want to get their money,"...

    Women in Ministry

    Jesus’ Treatment of Women As far as I know, from what I read in the New Testament, Jesus always treated women with high honor and respect. He never talked down to a woman or treated any woman as though she was less valuable than a man, with maybe one exception. As recorded in Matt. 15:21-28...

    Preaching

    One of the things I have observed, and I think it follows the adoption of the three year cycle of readings - be it the Roman Lectionary, The Revised Common Lectionary, or one of a number of Anglican Lectionaries that have evolved from these sources, and that is that preaching has become...
