Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Ken Howcroft. “Stir us up, Lord, to celebrate Christ the King!” A sermon preached two days before ministers/pastors and leaders of Church Councils of protestant/evangelical churches in Rome meet with the President of the Italian Republic and then have a round table discussion with politicians from many of the political parties on the theme “Protestantism in Italy today: Vocation, Witness and Presence”. If Christ is King, how are our kings and political leaders to be judged? How are we to be judged as his followers? The judgement will not be about what flattering things we can say or what showy gifts we can bring at some climactic, other-worldly time in the future, but how we respond to others, particularly the weak and the marginalised, in the everyday events of the here-and-now. In responding to them we shall be responding to Christ who identifies himself with them. The readings were Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24 and Matthew 25:31-46.
