Bishop Daniel Martins
December 11, 2019
Commentary, Contributors, Liturgy, The Episcopal Church

Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ of Faith

Bishop Daniel Martins
September 17, 2019
Analysis, Commentary, Contributors, The Episcopal Church
The only access we have to Jesus is through the Christ who is the object of our faith — the Christ who lived and died and rose for us, who intercedes for us as our Great High Priest, and who will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. It is alone through Jesus Christ that we have any knowledge of Jesus of Nazareth.

Feelings, Justice, and Reason in the Sexuality Debates

Bishop Daniel Martins
July 5, 2018
Commentary, Ecclesiology, Ethics, The Episcopal Church
It’s seems there is now little or no room for daylight between the placards in a Westboro Baptist Church demonstration and the most irenic and civil proponent of the traditional definition of marriage.
