I am thrilled to see that Brian McLaren was invited to present on evangelism at the Lambeth Conference, a once every 10-year gathering of all the bishops in the Anglican Communion. Those of us in The Episcopal Church as well as our brothers and sisters in Continuing Churches (those who have left TEC) are watching these three weeks with bated breath, but McLaren is supremely hopeful.
An excerpt: "I know that most people think the "news story" here is about divisive controversies over sexuality, but my sense is that the real news story is very different. There is a humble spirit here, a loving atmosphere, a deep spirituality centered in Bible study, worship, and prayer, and a strong desire to move beyond internal-institutional matters to substantive mission in our needy world."
