ABSTRACT

The one problem the church always faces never changes: namely, coping with the overwhelming abundance of God. A church rooted in the love of God, the ever-generous providence of the Father, the generative power of the Spirit, and the limitless grace of Jesus Christ; a place where there is no coda or finale–only beginnings and openings. The bright flash and camera lights of the nation’s press reporters filled the Hall at Church House. The House of Bishops has felt for some time that the church is too unwieldy in its structure to meet the needs of the people. When the government had stepped in to help rebuild and refurbish some, and then the Church Commissioners had applied for Euro-loan, it had opened the way for church and state to co-operate at levels unknown since the days of the Reformation. The new Church Brasserie did the catering for all special events; it was already featured in the Les Routiers Guide.
