Thanks to United Church of Christ minister David Runnion-Bareford!
Mr. Runnion-Bareford leads a movement of evangelical and conservative Christians working for Biblical renewal within the UCC, and he recently sent a kind message to Boston Catholics and to our archbishop, Cardinal O'Malley.
In his letter to the Cardinal, Mr. Runnion-Bareford expressed his sorrow at UCC involvement in a recent schismatic attempt to ordain some women heretics as priests, and in a separate message, he challenged the UCC minister who hosted the would-be ordination ceremony about her actions.
Personally, I think repairing the UCC is a lost cause, but it's good to know some members and ministers of that denomination want to maintain their commitment to the saving Gospel of Christ as they once received it.
That is a most gracious and Christian response, and I thank them for it.
