Archbishop of Canterbury 'The finality of Christ in a pluralist world'

"And so out of these two powerful and heavily-charged texts comes the classic Christian conviction: what we encounter in Jesus Christ is simply the truth. It is the truth about God and the truth about humanity. Not living into that truth and accepting it, has consequences because this is the last word about God and God's creation. So we speak of the finality of Christ. There's nothing more to know. Or we speak of the uniqueness of Christ. No one apart from Jesus of Nazareth expresses the truth like this."

I have been highly critical of the Archbishop of Canterbury. And then, just when I have myself whipped up into a rhetorical fury, he comes along and gives one of his brilliant and beautiful lectures. This one is a couple months old, but did not receive due attention at the time. If you are an Episcopalian in a foxhole looking for a reprieve from KJS inspired syncretism, sit back in your comfy chair and read through this lecture a couple times.
