Square Words, Round World – new CD released
Meekness, forgiveness and holiness are terms that have an honourable place in Christian tradition. However, they struggle to find acceptance in a world – and a contemporary Church – overwhelmed by a pervading secular culture.
If we evade their meaning and importance we are in trouble of losing the central ethos of Christ’s ministry and teaching.
For many these tenets of faith have become Square Words in a Round World, the title of Wesley Mission Superintendent the Rev Keith Garner’s three-part Bible Study series delivered at the 2006 NSW Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia – now released in a double-CD set.
Keith Garner’s studies dispel the myths surrounding these key aspects of the Christian faith by revealing their transforming, life-changing and counter-cultural nature.
Meekness, forgiveness and holiness are foundations of the Christian life and are not owned by any section of the church. They have the power to refresh and renew relationships within the church and the community.
Meekness is not about being compliant but being reliant upon God; forgiveness can transform the church and nations (like Northern Ireland and South Africa) and; holiness can make a lasting impact on the church’s ability to work together and its desire to seek justice and mercy for the disadvantaged and marginalised.
In this double-CD set, Keith Garner challenges our understanding of Meekness, Forgiveness and Holiness and explains the power they can have when we follow Christ’s example.
