Blog. I had the privilege of spending an entire afternoon in December 2012 with our former Pastor, Peter Hannam.
Many of you reading this will not know him, some of you will, but to spend time discussing doctrinal issues with such a man is a blessing indeed. His wealth and depth of knowledge after a lifetime of ministry is amazing and I urge any of you who get the opportunity to do a similar thing, spend time with someone whom you respect in the things of God to do it and allow yourself to be fed. It was whilst I was reading chapter 9 of the book of The Acts of The Apostles that my memory of that time with Peter came back. Finding God in the Ambiguity by Jonathan Martin. God is bigger than our tiny little systems of certainty.
He is revealed to us in Jesus of Nazareth, who is real enough to touch us in our own ambiguity. My assistant, Elizabeth, was at one time the Public Relations Director at Sea World, prompting me to joke onstage once that it well prepared her to work for me, since there are doubtlessly many similarities between managing me and managing Shamu. Her husband, Dennis, one of my best friends, told me afterward, “Actually, you and Shamu are nothing alike. There is nothing black and white about you, Pastor.” It was a truthful observation, and could have been a compliment or a criticism, depending on where you sat. The Source of Relationships.
