""Faith in the resurrection... sees the raising of the tortured and crucified Son of Man as God's great protest against death and everyone who plays into death's hands and threatens life." It involves no public spectacle, no undoing of the past, no overcoming of the humiliation that has preceded it. It too prevents nothing that worldly powers determine to undertake. It gives the believing community no power of its own beyond the power of memory, love, and courage."
- D.J. Hall, "Professing the Faith", p.450.
Memory...
Love...
and Courage.
what would Australia look like if these were truly and deeply embraced? What have we forgotten? Who have we not loved? And what have we feared?

Looks like you're producing more prophetic gems comrade!!
I was reading yesterday about a Steve Chalke coping a serve from the Evangelical Alliance in the UK for daring to suggest the cross might mean something other than 'penal substitution' particularly in his book 'The Lost Message of Jesus'. Chalke makes room for it being about forgiveness of our sins but suggests most trad interpretations misunderstand something of the character of God..
The Alliance flagged plans for some atonement workshops....
Praech it Jurgen!!
