More on the Bishop of Southwark

There is a blog post from "Changing Attitudes" that I think is worth reading on this development with the Bishop of Southwark and Dr. Jeffrey John. You can get to it HERE. Really, I think it's best that you read what Colin Coward is saying rather than have me attempt to pontificate on something that is happening so far away, and yet is so important.

From that post, the speculation that Dr. John may have the approval necessary to ascend to the office of Bishop:

"... it would help to usher in God’s new paradigm for church and creation, in which old, dualistic ideas are being overturned by (to quote James Alison) “God who is brilliantly alive, totally without violence, in no way circumscribed by death, who has revealed himself as loving humanity by giving himself to us to allow us to live outside, and beyond the culture of death.”

Go read the blog post.
