Led
by its Presiding Bishop,
The
Episcopal Church has
embarked
on an adventure
called,
“The Jesus Movement.”
According
to Wikipedia,
the
title originated in the 60s
for
a congress of hippies and
so-called
“Jesus freaks.”
Ageing
baby boomers will
remember
the groups at their
colleges
which were a mixture
of
Pentecostals and Evangelicals.
That
Jesus Movement and
its
name vanished in the 70s
and
the name has now been
appropriated
by TEC.
The
new Jesus Movement
seems
to be aimed at
developing
a spiritual
relationship
with Jesus.
The
video of Bishop Curry
walking
down Fifth Avenue,
speaking
to an invisible audience
does
not offer clarity.
TEC
has instituted a five point
series
which is supposed to
teach
us to become loving,
liberating,
and life-giving.
One
might observe that such
is
already the principal task
of
church, to educate and prepare
us
to follow Jesus in our lives.
