I take it that you mean that he ...Hello, Jonathan.<br /><br />I take it that you mean that he should, basically, have done what the apostle Paul did when he came before the Areopagus. <br /><br />But then the Archbishop is not Paul. <br /><br />And his situation is not that of Paul. Paul was asked to speak about Christian faith at the Areopagus. And he did what he was asked to do. The Archbishop finds himself in a difficult situation on occasions like this. The occasion is a New Parliament, and he really has to say something about that. <br /><br />Of course, there are ways and means of getting in what you <i>really want</i> to say. It's an interesting exercise to try to imagine what some of the great preachers of our own day (& the recent past) would have said if they'd been asked to preach the sermon last week!Young Mr. Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106889555211376281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001121738545655196.post-73341864360878647602010-06-15T10:50:18.414+01:002010-06-15T10:50:18.414+01:00Excellent....cross-posting....Excellent....cross-posting....Stuarthttp://blog.echurchwebsites.org.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001121738545655196.post-14716481265927227422010-06-15T10:43:57.134+01:002010-06-15T10:43:57.134+01:00He should have preached the gospel, but that would...He should have preached the gospel, but that would be a stretch because he doesn't believe in it.Jonathan Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341478626195362383noreply@blogger.com
