• Last Sunday of the Church Year

  
  de ecclesia et liturgia on Church and Liturgy — Authority: 112
  "So we must live by the words of the Lord and support that apostolic ministry of the Church wherever it exists . . . “Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.” Holy Church remains for He gathers us even on this Lord’s Day around His Body at the altar and we are made one ...

• Robert Munday—Healing the Fault Lines in Christianity

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 546
  The third reason I believe that orthodox Anglicans must take the lead in overcoming our divisions and manifesting the unity of the Church is that our disunity impairs our witness. It is only a united witness to the truth of the Gospel that can reach a world that is slipping into post-Christianity precisely through the ...

• Dr Williams’ address to the Willebrands Symposium

  
  onetimothyfour — Authority: 422
  It seems that Dr Williams must be a Telegraph reader, and took seriously George Pitcher’s vituperative piece a few days back ‘Its time for Dr Rowan Williams to square up to a rampant Rome’. His address to the Willebrands Symposium would certainly seem to be an attempt to put in their place anyone (such as Pope ...

• A Non-Institutional, Unorganized Church?

  
  The Reformed Reader — Authority: 420
  I just finished reading a book that utilizes a “trendy” font, talks about Jesus, kingdom, The Shack, missions, Starbucks, and even Lunesta.  The authors are younger guys with goatees.  It is true, these guys should be Emergent, but they are not .  Instead, they got together to write a book telling why and ...

• Barth’s modernity

  
  Peter J. Leithart — Authority: 555
  Discussing Barth’s distinction of the “church of Esau” and the “church of Jacob” in the Romerbrief , Michael Horton ( People and Place: A Covenant Ecclesiology ) gets Barth’s weaknesses exactly right.  First, “Barth seems to assume that ’secularity’ is neutral, objective, descriptive science” ...

• The Church’s Unrest

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  Jürgen Moltmann’s The Church in the Power of the Spirit continues to be one of the most impressive books I’ve yet encountered from him. In fact, I’ve found Moltmann’s work here quite helpful in light of the recent discussions about the viability of Hauerwas’s ecclesiology that have emerged from Nate ...

  Adiaphora - a prologue to things indifferent. — Authority: 131

• Does Mission Make the Church?

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  According to the early church’s own self-narration in the book of Acts it would seem so. In Acts 2 clearly it is the pentecostal coming of the Holy Spirit which initiates the new messianic reality through the apostles. But, the logic of the Spirit’s movement is not Pentecost-Church-Mission, but ...

• Tradition and Messianic Liberation

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  Jürgen Moltmann, in The Church in the Power of the Spirit argues that appeals to the church’s tradition as a source of stable, timeless permanence are misguided on the basis of the very nature of tradition itself: The tradition to which the church appeals, and which it proclaims whenever it calls itself ...

  Visiting with a young man the other day, I heard a brief statement that pinpointed a terrible problem faced by much of American Christianity.“Jesus was born on the cross for our sins,” he told me.Well, not exactly.  Jesus was born.  Jesus did die on a cross.  Both these events took place as part of God’s [...]

• Why the church is vitally important...

  
  1517 — Authority: 479
  Good stuff from Carl Trueman... It is all too easy for the theological student to end up remembering God as an object of knowledge; it is quite another thing to remember him as the all-surpassing subject of existence. This is why church is vitally important. OK, long-standing readers of Themelios know what is ...
