Thursday, November 04, 2004 On my church and its troublesPaul Barker spoke as usual at the Annual Meeting last night, and was quite disappointing. He showeed himself to be conservative and went in for a good amount of name calling -- hard not to do and I know I do it too.However his theme was that the (Anglican) church is in crisis and splits have started, are likely to continue and its because of those who do not have the bible as their authority. I thought this was quite unkind, (had he had a hard day). There is an amount I don't agree with and my focus of disappointment is the Sydney Diocese but their leaders are Anglican Christians and so often refer to the bible. Its their interpretation Calvanist and outdated. In reading the bible for understanding five of the ten rules are context, context, context, customs of the time, and context, and Sydney's leaders are stuck in interpretations mostly outdated. Yet Sydney is leading regarding orndinary people leading the churches services, (lay presidency), which seems to have the rest horrofied! And on their outdated basis Sydney leadrs go to some wrong applications and are stuck in battles lost by conservatives in other places, (I do go in for name calling). I need help in interpretating the scriputres for living today ....... Carol, Geoff, Michele ... others... help this simple person out..... best wishes from Gary # posted by Anonymous @ 6:11 pm 0 comments
