The Church Spea'ks Sponsored by the WHITBY MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION By REV. STANLEY ISHERWOOD Rector, St. John's Church, Whltby GOD 15 STILL AT WORK I received in the mail last week notice of an inter- ýnational conference for Anglican Clergy to be held this suznmer in Texas. On glancing over the names of the leaders, men of great repute, there among them was the name of Canon Charles Alexander, of Calgary. This rnight notbe at ail extraordinary ex- cept that this very week that same Charles Alexand- er is in Whitby - to be precise, leading a mission at St. John's Anglican Church. The mission is called "Something New'?, but, it isn't really, because we wil be learning about the power of God and that's the oldest thing.we know about ... "In the beginning God created..."* What might be new to some of us is the idea that God is stiil at work and flot enjoying an eternal day of rest. If we'read our Bibles we discover that God is at work throughout its pages from beginning to end, and it is full of promises that his work doesn't end with the writing of Bible. Why then do we not expeet to see hlm working stiil? So many Christians have tuned out God the miracle worker and substituted God the friend. Do they need to be exclusive of each other? As a young- ster I used to hear of "Roman Catholie" miracles usually having to do with saints. Since they were Roman Cathollc, to me they were lmmedlately sus- pect, not to be taken serlously. As I grew older I heard about miracles in Pentecostal Churches. But these were equally suspect because of their associa- tion wlth the "lemotlonallsm"l so forelgn to my kind of Christianlty. So the power of God at work was successfully limlted in my mmnd to bis hand in nature. Soon, however, the miraculous began to leap denominational bounds, and It was not in other churches only but in mine that they began ta, talk of God's power. Gradually the miracles became not Roman Catholic 'or Pentecostal or even Anglican, but Biblical!1 It is there, isn't it, that wo read of the Church as a place of power? And s0 I was forced ta ask, should we not expect to see God at work in every church and every congregation, not only in the great gift 0f forgiveness, but also in the empowering of its mom- bers to ministries of reconcifiation, healing and wit- nessing? I have to confess that this is not really my exper- ionco. It is more true ta say that many of our chur- ches conform ta Paul's description of the last days, when "men wiil be ... holding the form of religion but denying the power of it2 1 (2 Timothy 3:2-5). If we are to take the Bible at ail seriously we have to see it as the record of workings of a powerful God who bas not removed hirnself from Ris people but wants to work in -and througb them to do great things. "Behold I make ail things new" ho promises (Rev. 21:5). That is a promise to bis church as much as to any one member. Please pray for St. John's parish and Charles Alexander that we may be open to God's renewing power.
