The Instillation of Sarah, Archbishop of Canterbury

This was a joyous service, full of hope, in the service of God.

The beautiful singing a dancing of the African Choir of Norfolk.

The Bishop of Mexico reading the Gospel in Spanish.

Integration of male and female voices in the Choir.

Sarah’s sermon, ‘If you want to chat you will be listened to’.

The smiles of William and Kate’s faces.

All to the glory of God.

To quote Nicky Gumbel, in Questions of Life p137

When we come to Christ and become sons and daughters of God we become party of a huge family… Jesus prayed for unity among his followers (John 17).
Paul pleaded with the Ephesian Christian’s to ‘ make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bid of peace’ (Ephesians 4:3). The Spirit wants us to be u tied and helps us grow in unity…..

The same Holy Spirit lives in every Christian wherever they are and whatever their denomination, background, colour or race. … (Ephesians 4: 4-6).

The same Spirit indwells Christian in Russia, China, Africa, America, the UK or wherever. Roman Catholic, Orthodox,Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, Anglican or new church…

In one sense, important as it may be to us, what matters more than our denomination is whether or not we have the Spirit of God.. The same Spirit indwells Christian’s in every denomination….
@peterlee And she clearly doesn't!

Unity amongst Gospel believers BTW!!!!!
A biblically unqualified archibishop getting ordained? No Gospel there in the service (she doesn't take the Bible seriously so no surprise there).

I thank God I go to a Reformed Baptist church that takes God's Word seriously. I am Anglican but this ordination is the final nail in the coffin for me considering being in communion with Canterbury.

Meanwhile in the faith I was raised, women can't be clergy.

@JimboSaturn Sarah has a hard job to fulfil, she needs our prayers. I’ve met her, she is very accessible.

Locally, there are four Anglican church’s which I’m in fellowship with. One has male priests, one has female, evangelical, one mixed and one shared ministry of husband and wife, charismatic.

@peterlee I'm not a believer but I wish her my best.
