Just searching!

An inner city Anglican church had this sign up:

“join us searching for things that matter”.

It might not have been exactly that, but what an offer! What an admission! We don’t know; the indwelling Spirit of Gd and the Bible don’t help…all we can do is ‘search’. How is this an offer to people without Christ who are searching? You don’t know, we don’t know: therefore anything goes.

Still it lines up with the rector’s track record. In a debate many years ago with a leading philosophy lecturer at Sydney University, his first move was to accept the materialist framing of our world and therefore experience! So much for a gospel that saves!
