Episode One Hundred and Eighty Six Same-sex couple receives one of Anglican churches first blessings

We take a pulse check on the health of preaching in Australian Evangelical Churches with one of our leading preachers, from Melbourne's Centre for Biblical Preaching, Mike Raiter. Mike has just spent a few weeks surveying twenty different Australian Churches - watching  their sermons online - and analysing them on type of sermon, biblical genre, who was being preached to, faithfulness to text, length of sermon, appropriateness of application, and how well the preacher addressed the heart? Mike listened to ten evangelical Anglican Churches from across the country, and ten evangelical churches from a range of denominations from the Queensland capital Brisbane.Mike's detailed review of the sermons is published in the EFAC Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion Magazine. Support the show--To make a one off contribution to support The Pastor's Heart's ministry go to this link, or to become a regular Patreon supporter click here.

Canon Phil interviews the Rev. Cn. Dr. Alison Barfoot, the Archbishop of Uganda's Assistant for International Relations and Director of Communications. They discuss the work of God in Uganda through partnership with both Gafcon and the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, as well as her thoughts on Gafcon Kigali and the ministry happening here today.

By pure coincidence, two Archbishops are visiting the Isle of Man this weekend! The Most Reverend and Rt Honourable Stephen Cottrell is the Archbishop of York - second only to the Archbishop of Canterbury in seniority in the Church of England. He's also the Bishop of the Province of York which gives him care of all the Anglican Churches in the North of England - including the Isle of Man - hence this - his first - visit to the Island. In a packed schedule, Archbishop Stephen has met with people representing not only the Island's churches, but also from other walks of Island life, including Government, charities and community groups. People and politics are just two of the topics we touch on in today's interview. The Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon is Archbishop of Liverpool - and as the Roman Catholic Churches on the Island form part of the Archdiocese of Liverpool, they fall within his care. As he's been leader of the Liverpool Archdiocese since 2014 this is by no means his first visit - but a welcome return. Our conversation was recorded when Archbishop Malcolm visited Thie Dy Vea - House of Life - the Island's first residential retreat house - on Tynwald Road in Peel. As well as the value of going on a retreat, we discuss the difficulties - and the rewards - of learning to listen. There's music too - and our usual notice board. Information for the notice board can be emailed to me - please - judithley@manxradio.com

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has been rejected as the ceremonial head of the Anglican communion by a group of conservative primates, over plans to offer blessings to same-sex couples. Archbishops representing 10 of the 42 provinces in the Anglican Communion, part of a group called the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, have signed a statement supporting the move. It's also been supported by the Church of England Evangelical Council. We hear what impact this may have, from religious affairs reporter Harry Farley. What is prompting former Christians to turn their back on the church and convert to traditional African faiths such as ifa? BBC journalist Peter Macjob – himself an ex-Roman Catholic – tells us about his journey. Thousands of school children from all backgrounds will soon have access to the expertise of cathedral choir leaders, thanks to the national Schools Singing Programme. The Programme, which is funded by the Hamish Ogston Foundation, was set up two years ago, working with Catholic schools. But now it's expanded to include six Anglican cathedrals, which will allow it to reach more than 20,000 children every week. And an exhibition of textile art works, raising awareness about the threats to our natural world, has gone on display at Westminster. The Loving Earth Project was started by the Quaker Arts Network, and features more than 400 textile panels made by people all over the world. Presented by Emily Buchanan. Produced by Julia Paul and Dan Tierney.

It's Wednesday, February 22nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldView.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists claim tithes and offerings are “illegal” China Aid released its 2022 Annual Persecution Report last Monday. The Chinese Communist Party continues its persecution of churches and has introduced new methods as well. For example, house church leaders now face fraud charges. Authorities claim the tithes and offerings they receive are illegal. The government has also implemented strict regulations for online religious content to remove Christianity from the internet. Bob Fu with China Aid said, “Their goal is not only to curate a ‘socialist-friendly' church; they hope to erase it. The international community needs to know about these trends and developments as China continues to rise on the global stage.” Anglican Church condemns Church of England's pro-homosexual stance On Monday, the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches released a statement in response to the Church of England's new blessing services for homosexual couples. Anglican leaders said the decision by the Church of England and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby forfeits their leadership role of the global Communion. The letter stated, “the Church of England has departed from the historic faith passed down from the Apostles.” The Global South Fellowship represents Anglican congregations across South America, Asia, and Africa.  In a 12-minute speech last week, Calvin Robinson, a deacon with the Free Church of England, called the Church of England to repent. ROBINSON: “You do not have the authority to bless sin. When I hear the Bishop of London, on record, saying these new prayers will mean priests can bless same-sex relationships, some of which may be sexual in nature, I hear the devil at work. Bishops are promoting the idea of sacramental sodomy. Let them be anathema. Repent!” Revelation 2:5 says, “Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.” British court acquitted two pro-life advocates of absurd charges Last Thursday, a British court acquitted two pro-life advocates of all charges. Police recently charged Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the CEO of March for Life UK, and Sean Gough, a Catholic priest, for praying near abortion mills. Local authorities have established censorship zones around abortion mills. In the coming weeks, the U.K. Parliament will consider bringing such censorship zones to the whole country. After the recent ruling, Spruce said, “I'm glad I've been vindicated of any wrongdoing. But I should never have been arrested for my thoughts and treated like a criminal simply for silently praying on a public street.” Similarly, Gough said, “If the government imposes censorship zones around every abortion facility in the country, as they are considering doing with the Public Order Bill currently under discussion, who knows how many more people will stand trial, even face prison, for offering help, or for praying in their mind?” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!" Kansas blocked Walgreens from selling abortion Kill Pill In the United States, Kansas has kept the pharmacy chain Walgreens from selling the abortion Kill Pill in the state. After the Biden administration dropped certain regulations on abortion drugs, chains like Walgreens, CVS, and RiteAid announced, to their shame, they would be selling them. Kris Kobach, the state's Republican Attorney General, warned Walgreens that selling the drugs would violate state and federal law. On Monday, Walgreens responded by saying they would not be sending the abortion Kill Pill into Kansas. Kobach said, “This is a significant victory for the pro-life cause and for women's health.” Hebrew Bible auctioning for $50 million And finally, the oldest, most complete Hebrew Bible is going up for auction in May for $30 million to $50 million. It could become the most expensive historical document ever sold at auction. Known as the Codex Sassoon, the book dates back to the late 9th or early 10th century. It contains the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible with only 12 leaves missing. Sharon Liberman Mintz, a senior Judaica specialist at Sotheby's, said, “In Codex Sassoon, a monumental transformation in the history of the Hebrew Bible is revealed. The biblical text in book format marks a critical turning point in how we perceive the history of the Divine word across thousands of years and is a transformative witness to how the Hebrew Bible has influenced the pillars of civilization — art, culture, law, politics — for centuries.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, February 22nd in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Henni Alava, postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University, on her fascinating new book published by Bloomsbury as part of the New Directions in Anthropology of Christianity book series: Christianity, Politics and the Afterlives of War in Uganda: There is Confusion (Bloomsbury, 2022). Alava's work sheds critical light on the complex and unstable relationship between Christianity and politics, and peace and war. Drawing on long-running ethnographic fieldwork in Uganda's largest religious communities, Henni Alava maps the tensions and ironies found in the Catholic and Anglican Churches in the wake of war between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda. The book describes how churches' responses to the war have been enabled by their embeddedness in local communities. Yet it is also in the churches' embeddedness in structures of historical violence that religious faith nurtures peace liable to compound conflict. At the heart of the book is the Acholi concept of anyobanyoba, translate as 'confusion', which depicts an experienced sense of both ambivalence and uncertainty, a state of mixed-up affairs within community and an essential aspect of politics in a country characterized by the threat of state violence. Foregrounding vulnerability, the book advocates 'confusion' as an epistemological and ethical device, and employs it to meditate on how religious believers, as well as researchers, can cultivate hope amid memories of suffering and on-going violence.

Claims today that the global leader of the Anglican Church is out of step with God. The Primates of the Global Anglican Fellowship (GAFCON), meeting in Kigali Rwanda, have said that Archbishop Justin Welby has,‘Departed from the authentic exercise of his office by normalising and praising those who have departed from biblical teaching and practice…and giving equal place to practices contrary to biblical norms, as Anglicans have received them.  We urge him to repent.' (https://bit.ly/3DmPVas)And the Archbishop of Canterbury's explanations are described as 'disingenuous if not duplicitous'. The Gafcon Primates statement comes on top of the statement from the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, which if anything, is even stronger. The Global South Fellowship says,‘Archbishop Welby's first position is lamentable; his second is repugnant to our understanding of the authority and clarity of Holy Scripture. The notion of ‘pluriform' truth is contrary to the Anglican Ordinal which binds duly consecrated bishops to be responsible for the guarding, teaching and imparting of divine truth in Holy Scripture.' (https://bit.ly/3smoqas)Archbishop Welby's actions, which have provoked the criticisms, are his appointment of a new Dean of Canterbury (the lead minister of Canterbury Cathedral in the UK) of a man in a civil same sex partnership. The Global South statement says, ‘It feels as if the present Archbishop of Canterbury has shut the door of the [Canterbury] Cathedral to orthodox bishops, clergy and members of the [Anglican] Communion.'  (https://bit.ly/3smoqas)We are speaking today with: Archbishop Foley Beach, from North America, who is the chair of the GAFCON Movement, but who also is aligned with the Global South.Archbishop James Wong, Primate of Indian Ocean, who is one of the leading figures in the Global South, and who was also at the GAFCON Primates meeting. UK Bishop Andy Lines, who leads the Anglican Network in Europe, and who was also present at the GAFCON meeting.***As The Pastor's Heart grows in audience our opportunities and responsibility grow as well.

Report says religious groups in UK are failing children over sex abuse. The report, which follows on from inquiries into the Catholic and Anglican Churches, comes after several weeks of public hearings held last year in which victims of abuse gave evidence.

Sandy Grant and Kara Hartley,  who lead the Sydney Anglican Church's response to domestic violence, are expressing lament and grief at the findings of new national report into intimate partner violence within church communities.The new report into Domestic Violence in the Australian Anglican Church indicates the number of people who are at least occasional Anglican church attenders and are victims of intimate partner violence is the same as or higher than in the wider Australian community. Other key findings include:Evidence that Perpetrators misuse Christian teachings and positional power,Clergy reporting their confidence in their personal capacity to respond to IPV as low to moderate,Our leaders are well informed about the breadth of intimate partner violence and that it is more men than women who commit the violence,While many Anglican victims did not seek support from Anglican church, those that did were helped/felt supported.There are three aspects to the report:A research report on the prevalence of domestic violence, A survey of key clergy and lay leaders,The experiences of family violence of those with a connection with Anglican Churches. Contacts:1800 RESPECT - A 24 hour national sexual assault, family and domestic counselling line.Lifeline 131114 - For anyone across Australia who is experiencing a personal crisis or thinking about suicide.Further discussions:Caring pastorally for domestic abuse victims - Jenni WoodhouseAbuse in the marriage of ministry leaders - Jenni WoodhouseThe difference between domestic violence and dysfunctional relationship - Magdalena LiemSermon: Dominic Steele teaching on Domestic Violencehttp://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/domestic-violenceSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/thepastorsheart)

Miraculous Life Transformation "In the Twinkling of an Eye" Interview with Paul CummingsPaul Cummings is a Christian journeyman of forty-five years. He has worked for Teen Challenge (Brisbane) and has been a full-time pastor in the Uniting and Anglican Churches in Australia, as well as a leader in nondenominational churches and the Christian community."My walk with God has been marked with real life-changing encounters initiated by God. Little by little God transformed my heart, and I was renewed by what I call “inside miracles.” In the twinkling of an eye, God worked miracles in my heart that set me free from bondage and sin. These were significant deliverances and turning points in my spiritual growth as God quite simply and profoundly stepped into areas of my life that he needed to deal with. In my ignorance, God met with me and renewed my life.This is the story of an ignorant person who God deemed relevant to touch and set free in specific life areas in his way and in his time, from miraculous salvation experiences to dealing with me step-by-step over an approximate thirty-year period and finally setting me free from the deep dark dog of depression. It is a book to encourage hanging in there with your Christian walk and to highlight that, by the grace of God and in his time, there can be deliverance, freedom, and renewal." - Paul CummingsPaul Cummings: pcumm@tpg.com.auwww.seekingjesus.com https://paulcummings.com.au "In The Twinkling of an Eye"https://www.amazon.com.au/Twinkling-Eye-Transforming-Heart-Miracle/dp/B07Y4KVKJZ/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1572094857&refinements=p_27%3APaul+Cummings&s=books&sr=1-2Thank you for listening and supporting the 'Faith and Family Fellowship PODCAST SHOW'.

Welcome to the programme that I hope will lift us up whilst we're locked down and not able to be together in our churches, chapels and community groups. This week, I've a mix of old and new! At the start of every new year, Methodists celebrate a covenant service. Established by the father of Methodism - John Wesley - it's an important part of the Methodist Church calendar. But many of this year's covenant services have been affected by the closure of our churches during lockdown, so AT YOUR SERVICE this week goes back in time - to bring you extracts from a Covenant Service, recorded in the Promenade Methodist Church, Douglas FOURTEEN YEARS ago! The service is led by the Rev'd David Shirtliff, who was minister at the Promenade Church at the time - Bible readings are by Margaret Sanders and Frank Cowin, prayers are led by Hollie Johnston and Sue Montgomery, and Jennifer Bird is the organist. It was also a very happy and lively Family Service - so listen out for the arrival of Percy the Puffin! Whilst it has its origins in the Methodist Church, the Covenant Service has a very positive message, to carry us all through these uncertain times. From the Covenant Service of 2007, we come to the present day, reflecting on the fact that, since the first lockdown, one in four people are now entering the word ‘prayer' into internet search engines - that's a lot of people exploring something that can often be quite a challenge to talk about. Peter Shimmin is a Lay Reader, well-known for his work in the Anglican Churches in the North of the Island. Peter and his wife Sylvia live in Andreas with their beloved dog, Jacko. On this week's programme, Peter shares some very personal thoughts and reflections on the subject of prayer.

Join us this week as we sit down with two guests, Anna Whitaker and Meredith Byrd, to talk about spiritual disciplines. Anna is a new friend of ours and a senior Christian Studies major here at AU, and if her last name sounds familiar it's because we had her husband on just a few episodes ago! Mere is an old friend of ours and she's a junior HDFS major at AU; if her name sounds familiar it's because this is her fourth time on the podcast! In the first part of the episode (3:40-7:40), we have the usual friendly banter, hear a little bit about our guests, and introduce today's conversation! In the second part of the episode (8:05-33:06), we hear a little bit about the history of Christian monasticism and this idea of the "rule of life" from Anna, and look at a book about liturgies in everyday life, "The Liturgy of the Ordinary," with Meredith. We ask some questions about spiritual disciplines, like what even are they? We focus in on spiritual disciplines as sustaining us through the mundane, strengthening our Faith when we need it most. We talk about the de-spiritualization of Christianity and how the superficiality of some churches causes people to forget about the spiritual disciplines and the lose the wonder of Christianity. We talk about how if living in the spirit was easy, every one would do it; the spiritual disciplines are called disciplines for a reason. We discuss emotions and personal experience and discerning between when it's the Spirit and when it's emotion, moving into the next part of our discussion. In the last part of the episode (33:36-1:00:36), we look at the misconceptions around being receptive to your emotions within the Church and Christianity, and juxtapose that against the example Christ set for us in His time on Earth. We take a look at the Catholic and Anglican Churches and discuss how they engage all of the senses using the spiritual disciplines. We talk about how we are spiritual creatures not trapped in physical bodies, but instead gifted them by God; able to use them to grow our spiritual selves. We need to exercise both the Spirit and the Body with spiritual disciplines. We close out by discussing the personal nuance of the spiritual disciplines. Your walk with God is just that—yours. We share our own experiences with the spiritual disciplines and discuss how what works for one person may not work for another. Lastly, we encourage our listeners to lean into the ways they connect with God and implement disciplines and liturgies into their own lives to exercise their whole self and grow in their spiritual walks.

Across the Western world theological college enrolments are down. Today it's the third part of a conversation about this problem.  Specifically we are focusing on the issues of Sydney.  We're exploring the joint issues of not enough people putting themselves forward for ministry and the shortage of senior ministers for Sydney's Anglican Churches. Moore Theological College Lecturer Mark Earngey and St George North Assistant Minister Mike Leite have been researching for several years the underlying issues that have contributed to the Sydney minister drought. Mike's responsible for editing the recently released booklet ‘Sydney Anglican Ministry.'  Mark is behind the latest edition of the Australian Church Record Journal. Plus we review the important ‘From Sydney to the World' online conference held on the weekend, which was aimed at putting recruiting for ministry back on the agenda. ***Promotion: For information about Liberty's Lifelong Faithfulness Conference go to www.liberty.sydneySupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/thepastorsheart)

Unemployed workers and landlords in BC will start receiving provincial COVID assistance payments soon. BC Housing says it's received 45,000 applications for its rent subsidy but has sent out only 3,000 payments since the program was announced a month ago. The Premier acknowledges concerns over the backlog, especially since May's rent is due soon. John Horgan says the province is working as fast as it can to deliver services it's never had to deliver before. Meanwhile, British Columbians who qualify for the provincial emergency benefit for workers will be able to apply online starting May the 1st and by telephone, starting May the 4th. The one-time payment of $1000 is available to most people who qualify for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. The government is promising those payments will be sent within days of receiving the application. For more information, go to gov.bc.ca/workerbenefit.The BC Coroner's Service is investigating the deaths of two men, at a homeless camp in Victoria. One man was in his 20s and the other, in his 60s. The men were found dead in two separate tents yesterday. The camp where they lived was set up to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 among Victoria's street population. Another man in his 30s died at an unsanctioned encampment on Pandora Avenue last week. The coroner's service has not released the causes of death in any of the cases. The camps have attracted controversy Area residents complain of increasing crime in their neighbourhoods. The city has asked the province to place the campers in hotels. The province has said it is working on placements and will have something more to say by the end of this week.Meanwhile, in Parksville, the lack of shelter space has forced homeless advocates to set up a temporary shelter in a graveyard. Six people have set up camp at the graveyard between St. Edmund and St. Anne's Anglican Churches. Temporary hand washing and porta-potties have been set up. Reverend Christine Muise says four people are being temporarily housed in hotels, but that falls far short of the need.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco.

Paul Cummings is a Christian journeyman of forty-five years. He has worked for Teen Challenge (Brisbane) and has been a full-time pastor in the Uniting and Anglican Churches in Australia, as well as a leader in nondenominational churches and the Christian community. "My walk with God has been marked with real life-changing encounters initiated by God. Little by little God transformed my heart, and I was renewed by what I call “inside miracles.” In the twinkling of an eye, God worked miracles in my heart that set me free from bondage and sin. These were significant deliverances and turning points in my spiritual growth as God quite simply and profoundly stepped into areas of my life that he needed to deal with. In my ignorance, God met with me and renewed my life.This is the story of an ignorant person who God deemed relevant to touch and set free in specific life areas in his way and in his time, from miraculous salvation experiences to dealing with me step-by-step over an approximate thirty-year period and finally setting me free from the deep dark dog of depression. It is a book to encourage hanging in there with your Christian walk and to highlight that, by the grace of God and in his time, there can be deliverance, freedom, and renewal." - Paul Cummings Paul Cummings:pcumm@tpg.com.auwww.seekingjesus.com https://paulcummings.com.au "In The Twinkling of an Eye"https://www.amazon.com.au/Twinkling-Eye-Transforming-Heart-Miracle/dp/B07Y4KVKJZ/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1572094857&refinements=p_27%3APaul+Cummings&s=books&sr=1-2 To connect with Host Chris Buscher or Co-Host Dallas Monticue visit:Chris' Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/pastor_chris_buscher/?hl=enDallas' Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dallasmonticue/?hl=en

This episode is the last one on Christian church denominations, and Bethany and Emily talk about two denominations that seem to be lesser-known in North America. Both these denominations are prevalent in other areas of the world, so it's helpful to know about them (especially because they play big roles in church history). Listen in as Emily and Bethany discuss the history & doctrine of these two churches.

“How do we get people to believe?” Archbishop Christine Mercy Johnson explains on the dHarmic Evolution Interview Highlights: [3:00] Archbishop Dr. Christine Mercy Johnson gives a background of her faith and the path she took to be an Anglican Archbishop with the Worldwide Anglican Church [8:18] Her Grace explains the history and culture of the church [10:40] Her Grace gives her opinion and thoughts of other churches [12:00] Find out why women make the best religious leaders [20:35] Our job and purpose in life [31:54] Archbishop Dr. Johnson's experience at the gates of heaven [36:42] What was God's plan with the creation of Social Media? [37:33] God's promise to Her Grace Joining us today in the studio on her 54th Birthday, is British American, the Most Reverend Dr. Christine Mercy Johnson. Her Grace made history this year by becoming the first matriarch and Co-Presiding Bishop of the Worldwide Anglican church alongside His Grace, the Most Reverend Christopher Lwanga Tusubira from Uganda, Africa. = Her Grace was ordained a couple of female priests and deacons in Colombia, and as the church's spiritual mother, she leads her ministry with loving-kindness, great passion for working with orphans, the elderly, hospice and grief counseling, and utilizes her television, radio and social media platform to highlight social causes. Describing herself as a very structured, disciplined and self-controlled woman who was raised in British Aristocracy, her Grace was educated in the traditions and customs of the Anglican church. She has always had a very close relationship with God and has utilized her seminary training and walk to passionately teach others about Him. How do we get people to believe? Christine's Answer as a priest. Spending quality time with the Lord. We all have the Holy Spirit residing within us, and by taking our time to speak, listen and connect with Him through prayer, worship, and reading the bible, we will strengthen our faith and belief in Him. You really get close to the lord when you get yourself out of the way and start taking care of others with compassion and kindness. When you reach out to the homeless, the poor, the dying, the sick, the afraid, etc. you allow the Christ consciousness and love to move through you. It is then that you can feel the presence of the Lord. Being grateful to the Lord every morning when you wake up and ask Him to help you to be a blessing to others is an essential way to feel closer to God. It propels you towards a day of service and success and opens your heart to see the need in others. Her Grace's answer to service is do everything authentically from your heart: ''How do I know that our Lord Jesus Christ is real?'' In 1989, when I was 24 years old, I was happy and physically healthy, with a one-year-old child. I never thought of getting a flu injection, because I figured, in my utter arrogance that I was so fit that I could not get sick. One morning I awoke, and that theory changed as the hours passed by. I became critically ill and hospitalized with bacterial septicemia meningitis. By 7 pm that night, my fight with the illness was lost. I remember getting out of my body and trying to get the people's attention, and as I struggled with this, I saw a light, an angel light. I asked the angel if I was dead, and he replied to me: ''No, it is not possible for a human being to die, you live forever here, (Pointing up) or you live forever there, (pointing down) but you do not die.'' Death is the ultimate amputation, but not the end, because your body is still there. As the driver of the car gets out, so a soul leaves the body. Quotes: [18:38] My job as a priest is to take you to the cross. For it is at the cross of Calvary that we find our hope, joy, salvation and where we find our resurrection power [21:41] A stranger is a family member that I still haven't met [27:37] You really get close to the lord when you put yourself out of the way and start taking care of others [40:47] God is our Father, and He is extremely real. And when you're here on earth, you have two choices, to either be with Him or not. You can't make that decision when you die, and since none of us know when we're going to die, it is the most important decision to make in our life.

In this podcast on the fourth Sunday of Advent, 2015, Ian Mobsby explores the context and meaning of Mary's Song of Redemptive Revolution as recorded in the Gospel of Luke 1.39-45[46-55].  This text commonaly called the Magnificat, is said at Evening Prayer in most Anglican Churches and religious communities.  As such Mary's vision is deeply political in that it seeks the common good for economic, social and ecological justice.  This not a violent revolution, but a calling for all those who have and have not to come to the table as equal particpants in the Kingdom of God.
