Archbishop Gregory Venables addresses convention in Fort Worth

May 03, 2008

[Ed. Note: This has been a week of great contrast. I spent last Monday with the Presiding Bishop and listened intently to her thoughts about the institutional church. This morning, I sat as a guest in Fort Worth with Archbishop Venables, whom I have met many times before. He spoke with love and clarity about the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture and the challenges before all Christians, those within churches and those without. The contrast between the two couldn't be clearer. Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori views her role as shaping and leading a people-oriented institution, managing all the details with efficiency and skill. The archbishop is clearly an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ, calling people to commit their lives to Him and entrust Him with their future. Polar opposites? No. But as the Archbishop has said, everyone must choose. Read this and be encouraged. Cheryl M. Wetzel]
