The four gospels give us four different " historical " perspectives. The Canaanite woman incident should make it easy for anyone to see the limits to " Jesus is God " theology. The Church has done its utmost to summarize the situation in the Chalcedonian statement. We ought never abandon that statement. All best, Joe<br />Joe Herringnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086799115254785699.post-19065743407966159532022-07-30T16:19:35.314-04:002022-07-30T16:19:35.314-04:00Thank you, Ray!

I am a pacifist who is now cheering on Ukraine's armed resistance, a baby boomer who thought we had moved beyond nuclear threats, a Christian hoping against hope for the love of Christ to prevail. Wartime dashes so many of our assumptions.

The service includes the reading of Psalm 22, the Passion according to John, my sermon, the Solemn Collects, and beautiful singing by Jayin Brown.
