Today we look at the eleventh chapter — ‘A Final Word'. Why are we preaching? Where is the power in preaching? Who are we to believe we can speak for God? As Robinson says in his book, “No one in his right mind who thought about it would ever choose to be a preacher. It's a commitment to the impossible." 168 Let's reflect on this Scripture for a moment….. “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,  so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11 NIV11) Over 40 years ago I read this section of Isaiah. It spoke to me then, it speaks to me still. I trust it to be true. While not about preaching per se, it does convey the right sentiment about the efficacy of God's Word. In the final chapter of his book, Haddon Robinson emphasises the significance of trusting the power of God working through his Word over and above our own insight, skill and experience.  What does our confidence rest on? Where is the power? “I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.” (1 Corinthians 2:3–5 NIV11) Paul is not saying he was incapable of being wise and persuasive — it is clear from the book of Acts that he was — but that he did not depend on such skills. He relied on the Spirit's power. Many take this to mean the miraculous gifts (charismata) that authenticated his message. It may be there were occasions that this was the case, but I have come to suspect that he meant something else. A more plausible interpretation is that he meant that his listeners had a clear sense of the God-ness of his preaching. In other words, his hearers said to themselves, “The power and wisdom of this message are not human. We are witnessing a divine event. What we are hearing is beyond even the most wise and persuasive speaker - even Paul.” That is reassuring. Why? Because whatever your stance on whether or not 1st century charismata are available today, the effectiveness of your preaching is not dependent on them. Neither is your skill level, the extent of your speaking experience, or the wisdom you have accumulated. The power of God working through his word is the same today as at any time in human history. That power is moving in our time in all parts of the world where the word is preached. Faith comes from hearing the Word, and when you preach the Word the best you can, faith grows. What can we say? 1. We speak what we believe. Whether we say it well or not, we must speak about what we believe. “In preaching, the preacher is bearing witness to the truth he or she proclaims and staking his or her life on it. “A sermon is an exposition of the apostolic Word in the form of testimony.”  Liturgical Theology, Simon Chan. Give the sermon your best, that is all that you can do. 2. We both satisfy hunger and create hunger.  Do not place a burden on yourself that God does not. You do not have the answer every question, but part of your responsibility is to create curiosity in your hearers so that they will go and research and study for themselves. 3. We trust that God is at work. “Christ has a secret passage way into peoples lives that you and I know little about. Give your sermon to him." 169 Conclusion Some preachers have limited skills, and others are supremely gifted. However, as Robinson says, “…in the final analysis there are no great preachers. There's only a great Christ who does startling things when we place ourselves and our preaching in his hands." 169 Next week we wrap up the series by conducting a review of the previous episodes.

"The Anglican Communion has no peculiar thought, practice, creed, or confession of its own. It has only the Catholic Faith of the ancient Catholic Church, as preserved in the Catholic Creeds and maintained in the Catholic and Apostolic constitution of Christ’s Church from the beginning.” Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher Our introduction to Anglicanism continues as we begin explaining how Anglican worship works. In this episode, we'll begin by looking back at the Catechism "To be a Christian" in order to understand what we believe about worship, and why we worship the way we do. To follow along with this week's discussion, I recommend downloading a copy of our PDF - "An Introduction to Anglicanism". Pages 5-6 focus specifically on our discussion of the Sacraments! For further study, please let me HIGHLY recommend "Liturgical Theology" by Simon Chan - which is an excellent expanded introduction to thinking through the world through a sacramental lens. And if you are interested in an historical study of the Rituals and Ceremonials of the Church in England, I recommend Percy Dearmer's book "The Parson's Handbook".

Explore Chapter Three in The Worship Pastor as Doxological Philosopher by Zac Hicks. Hicks asks, "Should worship take on a specific structure or shape? How does the gospel (i.e. how we are made right and enter into relationship with God) inform worship’s structure? Do the structures of Old Testament worship (i.e. the sacrificial system, the feasts and festivals, and other rituals) have any carryover and bearing on New Testament worshiping communities? If so, what? What elements of worship are non-negotiable? Are there universals for Christian worship which transcend context? If so, what are they? Is preaching a non-negotiable element? If so, what form(s) can it take and not take? Are the ordinances/sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper to be included in this list of non-negotiable elements?" Under Expression of Worship Hicks asks, "What human faculties—mind, body, will, emotions, etc.—should be expressed in worship, and how are they best employed? What is the acceptable scope, range, and balance of human expression in worship? Should worship be loud, energetic, and up-beat? Should it be soft, quiet, and reverential? What role does music and particularly singing play in corporate worship? Is singing necessary? If so, why is it valuable and what does it accomplish? Is music unique among the different art forms when it comes to use and implementation in corporate worship?" Music is unique among the art forms in its ability to be expressed corporately and to wed text and truth with affect and aesthetic. Are we all commanded to sing? The Holy Spirit's shines the spotlight on Jesus. Hicks continues, "Is musical style an amoral category, purely based on preference? Is special music (a moment when the congregation is not singing but music is being presented) appropriate and/or beneficial? What factors play into determining appropriate dynamic/volume levels for music accompanying congregational song? How is worship’s expression relative to one’s cultural context? How does the fact that the universal church transcends cultures, times, and nations inform worship in any one local church? Does a local church bear the responsibility of reflecting its multicultural nature in the actual expression of worship? "How does the church’s trans-cultural identity address issues of nationalism and patriotism in the worship service (i.e. national flags, patriotic songs, etc.)?" Explore worship and formation. Consider lex orandi, lex credendi or the law of prayer is the law of belief. What you pray betrays your theology. Our habits of worship shape our beliefs in who God is. A worship service teaches us how to approach God. Explore Simon Chan's view in Liturgical Theology. Explore the concepts of Primary theology and Secondary theology. Secondary Theology is the reflection upon Scriptures and practice seen in Systematics, theological reflection, thinking, and writing. Primary Theology is enacting and doing as seen in praying. Orandi is Primary Theology; Credindi is Secondary Theology. Consider that doctrine and worship are both theology. Doctrine and worship are in dialectic relationship - they form and inform one another. Consider that good worship fights heresy. Primary and Secondary Theology is the dialectical relationship between doctrine and worship.

After nine centuries of schism, new ecumenical impulses especially since the Second Vatican Council are leading Eastern Orthodox and Catholics to a new relationship. In a Common Declaration in 1965, Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople, together aimed to remove from the midst of the Church the mutual sentences of excommunication of 1054, calling for dialogue to resolve issues separating them, and to lead towards full communion. This program will illustrate how far the Orthodox-Catholic dialogue has come. Msgr. Paul McPartlan, S.T.L., D. Phil. “The Achievements of the International Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue.” Msgr.
