Bishops: Share the Good News

Written by Super User 28 Jun 2010

The Church of England’s long history of witnessing to the unique significance of Jesus Christ is a duty that continues in today’s multi-faith environment, reiterates a new report. It affirms that missionary activity has always been a hallmark of the Anglican Church’s life and should continue to be so. The report’s foreword notes that: ‘the fear of getting it wrong should never obscure the Christian’s commitment to the good of all and to making Christ the centrepiece of that good. Too much reticence is as untrue to our history and our vocation as too much stridency.’ The document draws on case studies from across the country, where dioceses and parishes are actively engaged in inter-faith dialogue by expressing a ‘sensitive confidence’ about the Christian faith. The report suggests that there is a real desire among people of other faiths to hear about the beliefs which motivate Christian action and witness.

Pray: for us all to speak out our belief in the Gospel message. (Mk.16:15 )
