Run, don’t walk, over to Underground Pewster.

A sermon by the Rev. Furman Buchanan about what the life of a former SC bishop has to say about the upcoming episcopal election

I am getting tired of reading sermons, but felt it was my duty to suffer through this one in order to see what the Diocesan House wants us lowly pewsters to hear to guide us in the difficult task of choosing a bishop.

Let’s take a look at this sermon. Buchanan starts with words that should peak the ears of any sharp eared pewsitter,

“We just heard what St. Paul wrote to the Ephesian congregation, ‘Pray for me…to make known the boldness and mystery of the gospel…pray that I may declare it boldly…’”

I think that is from Ephesians 6. You remember that chapter that no one trusts anymore because of all that nonsense about slaves obeying their masters.

“When the air is thick with controversy, and there is deep tension and strife, when people are confused or abandoning ship, it is just plain common sense not to preach too boldly. In the life of the Church, or of a diocese, or of a congregation, these are the times when it is just plain common sense to avoid ‘rocking the boat.’ “
