“It’s all about the grassroots” – Like water, that run deep.

Good on her! I think renewal in the church will come from ordinary people who care deeply about the mission of God in the world. It’s all about the grassroots…

A Lay woman with three children in the scheme of this topic represents a far more important individual than say a Bishop.

ooooooooooooooooops: Guess I should learn to read….perhaps it is the desire of Anglican mainstream to show the spiritual welfare of this woman’s three children to be of importance….Maybe it is just to get a better readers attention span.

Eph.3;20 Why is the fact that this woman has three children relevant to the title of this page?

Seems to me that perhaps she is somewhat, no, more than somewhat concerned about the spiritual welfare of her children alongside the spiritual welfare of her church both in the UK and in Canada……I can understand it being mentioned. I know that I am concerned about the spiritual welfare of my tribe and their tribes.
Don’t know if this helps you or not Ephesians, but it helps me.

It reads like fairly standard British journalism to me: the story ultimately comes from the Christian News Release Service.

It begins with irrelevant details about the principal character, including his or her age, presumably to introduce human interest, and then gets to the point.

Eph 3:20 (#3), sounds like a good question for Anglican Mainstream. I wouldn’t imagine anyone on this blog knows the answer.

Wonderful example of lay leadership…..
This woman, if her private bill is allowed to vote and if passed will have done something that the rest of the Communion has been unable to do……. perhaps….. and that it to elicit clear leadership from the Archbishop of Canterbury…..
May the Holy Spirit continue to be with her and may her bill be protected on its’ journey through this particular General Synod.
This Lady needs the collective prayers of all Anglicans worldwide who are believers in the supremacy of the Holy Bible and those who believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.

What a courageous lady! We need to remember to be in prayer as we stand with those representing us on February 9.
