What other religious leaders are saying about the teachings of the Rev. Kevin G. Thew Forrester, the bishop-elect of Northern Michigan: \u201cI don\u2019t really see what there is left to say – the unique incarnation, saving death, bodily resurrection and universal lordship of Jesus are basic to Christian faith and to question that means you are disqualified from being an upholder of that faith in any official capacity in the church. That such a man should be considered even a possibility for a bishop is quite simply extraordinary.\u201d\u009d – The right Rev. N.T. Wright, lord bishop of Durham, England \u201cI think [Thew Forrester is] solidly a Christian believer, a disciple of Jesus Christ and will be a faithful bishop. … I don\u2019t think he\u2019s outside the tent of acceptable theological thinking and understanding.\u201d\u009d – The right Rev. Tom Ely, bishop of Vermont \u201cThis gentleman, apparently, doesn\u2019t believe the creeds. … The doctrine of redemption through the incarnation and atoning work and resurrection and heavenly reign at present and future return of the second person of the Godhead: That is Christianity. Take that away and you have destroyed the Christian religion. Period. That\u2019s what Christianity is about.\u201d\u009d – Regent College Professor of Theology J.I. Packer<\/p>\n
