Bishop Jakes, Could You Clarify? via AskDrBrown

The megachurch pastor was accused of coming out in favor of gay marriage. One headline proclaimed his position on LGBT churches is “evolving.” I reached out to bishop’s office this weekend by phone and email. I wanted to ask him personally what he meant, because we know all too well that the secular media—and the heresy hunters—like to twist the word of godly men and women to support an agenda. http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/watchman-on-the-wall/50956-bishop-t-d-jakes-shocked-to-read-manipulation-of-his-gay-marriage-comments

You are quoting T.D. Jakes Ministries calling Charisma magazine a “so-called Christian publication” via AskDrBrown
John Ruffle [08/13/2015 10:30 AM]
Yes – pls try to put quotation marks around quotes.. cheers!
John Kissinger [08/13/2015 10:41 AM]
quotes are properly placed – what’s your take on this?
John Kissinger [08/13/2015 4:06 PM]
Which one do you mean among several theological evolving(s) mentioned here: theology of ministry to homosexuals, theology on oneness/Trinity and pneumatology connected to that; kingdom-now theology reflected political plays with Oprah? Which one do you think it is NOT a theologically connected to a mega church community?

And he came out saying this not his words. I don’t agree with everything he says on issues, but people should at least do responsible journalism: https://www.facebook.com/bishopjakes/posts/10153762174043322
John Kissinger [08/13/2015 5:29 PM]
Candace Laughinghouse what do you disagree with?
Candace Laughinghouse [08/13/2015 5:30 PM]
I disagree with a lot – not intended for this post – and much better in a conversation. LOL! I just finished a book review for the journal and headed to spend time with my family:) Have a great one!
John Kissinger [08/13/2015 5:31 PM]
Charisma magazine did publish his explanation and further information so they their journalistic work. However, it is not not yet certain if Jakes’ stance on the issue is clear or still evolving …
Candace Laughinghouse [08/13/2015 5:32 PM]
I think it’s pretty clear. The initial write up was sloppy. We know how journalists are constantly searching for the click-bait.
John Kissinger [08/13/2015 5:33 PM]
so you think AskDrBrown is just another click-bait journalist?

False prophet, do not follow.

@followers Jeffrey Snyder Late in 2023, both PCCNA and USCCB endorsed an official bilateral and every member of both teams has an ecclesial endorsement. Dr. Hunter reported directly to the PCCNA executive committee during the February 2024 PCCNA conference in Montgomery, AL. The PCCNA – USCCB Dialogue quinquennial theme is “Waters that Unite: Waters that Divide”. The 2025 session hosted by USCCB will focus on the Season of Creation . The 2026 session hosted by the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel will celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Azusa St. Revival.
Thanks to an invitation from the Rev. Dr. David Han, the first session in this historic bilateral will be hosted by the Pentecostal Theological Seminary. A summary written by Dr. Kimberly Belcher (UUSCCB) and Rev. Dr. Harold Hunter (PCCNA) for the 2024 theme follows below. New ground will be broken with an actual foot washing service led by Rev. Dr. David Han. The Pentecostal paper will be read by Rev. Dr. Christopher Thomas, an expert on this subject.
The historic USCCB – PCCNA Dialogue will first meet October 2 – 4, 2024, at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary, in Cleveland, TN. Under the dialogue theme, “Waters that Unite: Waters that Divide,” this initial session will look at the example of Jesus in John 13 where he washed his disciples’ feet. Although the method of practice varies between these traditions, there is common ground to be found. For Pentecostals, foot washing is a holy ordinance like that laid bare 30 years ago at the founding of PCCNA, known as the “Memphis Miracle”. For Catholics, it is a sign of charity that begins the Holy Triduum (“three days”) that remembers Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. For both, it serves as a call to the mutual love and service Jesus asks of his followers.
The PCCNA team will remain unchanged at the start of the formal bilateral. The USCCB team will be led by Bishop Peter Smith. Bishop Smith comes as a member of the USCCB Bishops’ Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. Rev. Dr. Walter Kedjierski’ term as Executive Director at the USCCB Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs has come to an end. The next officer is Rev. Russell K. McDougall. Rev. McDougall has been serving as the Rector of the Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Jerusalem for Holy Cross at the University of Notre Dame.
