[The Emerging Church] is a movement born of people who do not want to accept the clarity of Scripture. . . . It allows them not to take a position on homosexuality, premarital sex, or anything, besides “Let’s light some candles and incense, think good thoughts about Jesus, and give to the poor.”
Just shortly after the announcement that D. James Kennedy (Wikipedia) had officially retired from his position as senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida—a position that he held for more than 48 years—comes the announcement that he has gone home to be with the Lord at the age of 76.
You have most likely read about David van Biema’s story “Mother Teresa’s Crisis of Faith,” which appeared on the cover of this week’s TIME Magazine. Biema’s article is based on the findings disclosed in Brian Kolodiejchuk’s new book, Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, which publishes letters written my Mother Teresa (Wikipedia) never before made public.
Here is a statement that represents well the inner struggles and doubts that she experienced:
Jesus has a very special love for you. As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear. —Mother Teresa to the Rev. Michael Van Der Peet, September 1979
Ted Haggard (cf. the new TedHaggard.com | Wikipedia), the former pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, has been in the spotlight recently for writing a letter to friends and colleagues asking for financial support for the next two years while he and his wife, Gayle, work on degrees at the University of Phoenix.
Gayle is in the undergraduate program studying psychology. I am pursuing my master of science in counseling degree, which means we are both full time students.
The Reverend Robert Whipkey, a 53-year-old catholic priest in Frederick, Colorado, was caught jogging in the nude on a high school track at 4:35 AM (about an hour before sunrise) on June 22. He said that he “didn’t think anyone would be around at that time of day” and that “he sweats profusely if he wears clothing while jogging.” He also admits that what he did was wrong and is facing a charge of indecent exposure with a court date set for September 14. If convicted, Whipkey will become a registered sex offender.
Dr. D. James Kennedy (Wikipedia) has officially retired from his position as senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, a PCA church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He started the church on June 21, 1959 and has been the senior pastor for 48 years.
Kennedy preached his last sermon on Christmas Eve of 2006, only days before his heart attack. He has not been back in the pulpit since.
His replacement has not yet been chosen, but the process is underway and “is expected to take between one and two years.”
