\u201cMy hope is that all Provinces will come back from where they have gone astray, that they follow the biblical teaching. That\u2019s when we shall come out of it,\u201d he repeats. \u201cIf not, the Communion will continue to be sick and suffer, and many will follow out of [it].\u201d<\/p>\n
What about an Anglican Communion that held these differences in tension, I suggest: acknowledge that, as Archbishop Welby had reiterated that morning, \u201cWe are a messy family. But families live with mess\u201d?<\/p>\n
There are \u201ccertain things we cannot live with, which are central, or paramount, which unite us all, and that is the biblical truth,\u201d Archbishop Badi says. \u201cI am an African in Africa: we have our own culture, but that should be out[side] of the Church. You are European or American and have your own culture that is yours. But what brings us together is the biblical truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo our struggle here is [around] bringing culture into the Church, trying to say that, since we are autonomous, this can be there. But this should not happen. This cannot happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t have differing minds and be a Church,\u201d he said. \u201cYou must have the mind of Christ as policy. You teach one message and you help people expound, make simple what the scriptures say. That is it.\u2019\u201dhttps:\/\/t.co\/QYQFtCMwBG<\/a><\/p>\n — Church Times (@ChurchTimes) July 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
