The Anglican Church “One Big Happy Family?”
May 13, 2010
“We are one big happy family, gods family, Gods family. We are one big happy family Gods family are we. She is my sister he is my brother our father in heaven he loves you and me”
These words of which the general synod sang last night “one big happy family” some what charismatically at night prayer reflected the mood of this synod thus far, Tho im not trying to say that the proceeding haven’t brought up disagreement and division not to mention the countless calls for caucus and the hours spent in caucus. There has clearly been tension on the floor of this synod, After all some of what we had deal with has been easy but at the heart of all our work here as the body of Christ is that this work that we are doing is Gods work. Like a family we have our problems we have our disagreements in some ways we are dis-functional but our three Tikanga church, like a family we love each other. As a family of Christ followers we are obliged by the Gospel to love each other as Christ first loved us, at least we have got that going for us.
