John 17 Movement


Intro:

THIS CENTURY, WE ARE SENSING THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGNLY VISITING HIS PEOPLE WITH A FRESH OPTIMISM AND DESIRE FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH. This is A UNITY NOT BASED ON UNIFORMITY OF DOCTRINE AND PRACTICE, BUT RATHER A RECONCILIATION of relationships CALLING US BACK TO JESUS’ PRAYER IN THE 17TH CHAPTER OF JOHN’S GOSPEL—THAT HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD BE ONE. THAT PRAYER, WE BELIEVE, EXPRESSES THE CLEAR PURPOSE OF SALVATION. SIN’S GOAL IS DIVISION, ENDING WITH EACH OF US BEING ALONE, SEPARATED FROM OUR CREATOR AND EACH OTHER. SALVATION’S GOAL IS TO BRING US INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY BACK INTO HARMONY WITH OUR CREATOR AND EACH OTHER. DISPLAYING THAT HARMONY IS A MAJOR PART OF THE CHURCH’S CALL. IT IS OUR SENSE THAT AWARENESS IS ALREADY AND WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE CENTER STAGE DURING THIS CENTURY. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS STIRRING AT THIS MOMENT, CAUSING A FAITH TO RISE IN THE LORD’S PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, REMINDING US OF JESUS’ WORDS TO HIS FIRST DISCIPLES, “YOU KNOW THE SAYING, IT’S FOUR MONTHS BETWEEN PLANTING AND HARVEST, BUT I TELL YOU WAKE UP, THE HARVEST IS NOW.” (JOHN 4:35)”


But there is no salvation without following God's commandments, and His commandments are part of doctrine, as well as the truth of the Incarnation and many other truths. How can there not be agreement on these? And if they concede that there must be this agreement, then how can they allow such a lie to be printed as Christian?

CWR: Why talk of Catholic-Lutheran intercommunion damages Catholic-Orthodox relations by Ines Angeli Murzaku

If the Catholic Church can and will think of intercommunion, then intercommunion with the Orthodox Churches is the most reasonable, probable, and feasible.

First Things: Latimer and Ridley Are Forgotten A Protestant understanding of England’s martyrs by Peter Hitchens

Hidden in the northern suburbs of Oxford are the last traces of a path first trodden by multitudes of country folk hurrying to see the burning of the Protestant martyrs Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley on October 16, 1555, and trudging home afterward. For some years I lived very close to this track, . . . .

Cardinal Koch on the Protestant Reformation

CWR: Cardinal Koch: “The commemoration of the Reformation reminded us of what unites us”

“In the commemoration of the Reformation,” says the President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, “the emphasis was above all on what we have in common; but open questions still remain, as before.”

Wolfhart Pannenberg

Thinking of getting the English translation of his Systematic Theology.

The Achievement of Wolfhart Pannenberg by Michael Root

New and more determinative for his later theology is its thoroughgoing trinitarian character. In a way similar to some other recent theologians—most notably, in their different ways, Karl Rahner and Karl Barth—Pannenberg does not begin with a discussion of God as one and of the divine attributes, both understood without reference to God as triune, but begins with God as Trinity and allows that understanding to frame both the presentation of God’s unity and the elaboration of the divine attributes. Against that background, God’s act of creation is presented as analogous to the differentiation of the Son from the Father (hence, creation is through the Word) and salvation is participation in the life of the Trinity (an idea more familiar to Catholic than to modern Protestant theology).

He passed away in 2014.

The Strange Legacy of Theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg by Fred Sanders
He vehemently defended the Resurrection but denied the Virgin Birth. He was hugely influential but leaves few disciples. What you need to know about the German giant who died this month.
