Church of England Appoints First Ever Female Bishop of London


The Church of England is making news with its appointment of Sarah Mullally as the first female Bishop of London.


USA Today reports that Mullally is a former nurse. She is married and has two children. She decided to give up her career in the medical field and pursue a calling to the priesthood in 2006.


The Bishop of London holds the third most powerful position within the Church of England. Upon accepting the nomination, Mullally said she was “delighted and slightly terrified” at such an honor and responsibility.


She added that diversity plays an important role in the Church:


“If our churches are to be more relevant to our community, this means that we need churches that are led by priests who are women, who come from black, Asian and ethnic minority groups,” Mullally said. “To have churches that are confident, we need local ministers and priests who are enabled to be the best that they are. London could be that gift to the rest of the Church of England to demonstrate how unity can work.”


Mullally also added that she knows her appointment is not supported by those who adhere to more traditional beliefs of church leadership, but she is committed to being respectful of those who hold this view.


“My belief is that church diversity throughout London should flourish and grow; everybody should be able to find a spiritual home; and that those who minister should be able to…

Trump Not God’s Choice but ‘Concession,’ Like Bible’s King Saul, AR Bernard Tells Samantha Bee

(Photo: The Christian Post/Leonardo Blair)Dr. A.R. Bernard, founder and CEO of the Christian Cultural Center, New York City’s largest evangelical congregation, and one of the largest independent churches in America, speaks at the closing ceremony of the “Movement Day Global Cities” conference at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City on Thursday, October 27, 2016.

Prominent New York City megachurch preacher and former member of President Donald Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Council, A.R. Bernard, says while some evangelicals have heralded the president as God’s choice, he believes the billionaire leader is more like King Saul in the Bible, a “concession.”

In a recent appearance on “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” Bernard who is founder, senior pastor and CEO of the 40,000-member Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, said he realized after just his second meeting with the president’s evangelical advisory team that he would not be able to influence policy through the group’s work.

“[I felt] that I would be a minority voice at the table to help influence policy, ideas, initiatives. Fast forward to May of 2017, sitting in the Blue Room next to him at a table having dinner, so I engaged him [Trump] and I seized a good 15, 20 minutes to talk about the inner city, ” Bernard…

These 13 Christian Leaders Went Home to be with the Lord in 2017

Veronica Neffinger
| Editor, ChristianHeadlines.com

A number of influential Christian figures finished the work God gave them to do and went home to be with the Lord this year. These men and women were authors, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and involved in ministries of all types. They represent an incredible cross-section of who God chooses to be a part of His Kingdom and to bring others into that Kingdom. We can draw much inspiration and encouragement from learning about their lives, but we can also look at their lives as reminders that without Christ, we are lost, but with Him, we can do all things for which He will equip us. We hope that you benefit from reading through this list of 13 influential Christians who faithfully lived out their callings and are now at rest.

Secularists make official complaint over BBC’s “PR exercise for C of E”

NSS said the episode, which included an interview with Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev Justin Welby, amounted to a “PR exercise for the Church of England”.

NSS chief executive Stephen Evans wrote: “The bias and deference towards the Church of England demonstrated in this show suggests a ‘cosy relationship’ has developed between the BBC and the Church, which undermines public confidence in the BBC’s commitment to impartiality.”

The episode was broadcast on 14th December from Lambeth Palace, which is the Archbishop Justin’s residence.

 

The show included a performance from a Westminster Abbey choir, the Bishop of Manchester speaking about the Church’s ethical investment fund and Archbishop Justin’s chaplain reflecting on the Grenfell Tower fire six months on.

 

The NSS added the episode was inappropriate in light of the…

Limbless Evangelist Nick Vujicic’s Wife Gives Birth to Twin Girls Days Before Christmas

(Photo: Facebook/Nick Vujicic)Limbless evangelist and inspirational speaker Nick Vujicic with his wife, Kanae, in a photo posted December 18, 2017.

The wife of inspirational Christian speaker and author Nick Vujicic, known throughout the world as the “limbless evangelist,” as he was born with no arms and no legs, has given birth to twin girls just days before Christmas.

“Thank you all for your love and prayers! Babies Olivia and Ellie were born on Mommy’s Birthday, 5 pounds 2 ounces and 5 pounds 14 ounces. Mommy is well and so are the girls. Thank You God!” Vujicic posted on Wednesday on his Facebook page, which is followed by over 9 million people.

Back on Monday, Vujcicic posted another update, with a photo of himself and his wife, Kanae.

“Olivia and Ellie Vujicic, God willing will be born on Wednesday morning. Mommy did so great with the pregnancy! Thank God they seem to be healthy! Thank you for your prayers now and during Kanae’s recovery,” he wrote.

The couple, who also have two older children, with their fist son, Kiyoshi, born in February 2013, and their second son, Dejan, in September 2015, found out that they may be having twins back in June on Father’s Day.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! Today was an exceptionally extra special Father’s Day for me, after we recently just found out something extraordinary!” the evangelist posted at the time, linking to a short video that announces Kanae is pregnant with twins.

“Thank you for your continued prayers for our growing family! God is good!” he said at the time.

Vujicic has often talked about his struggles with depression…

    Female Evangelical Leaders Call on Church to Speak out on Violence against Women


    More than 140 evangelical Christian women from across the political and theological spectrums have signed onto a statement calling churches to end the silence around violence against women and the church’s participation in it.


    The statement, released Wednesday (Dec. 20), is accompanied by the hashtag #SilenceIsNotSpiritual and is part of a campaign that will run through Easter on April 1, 2018.


    As for the church:


    “There is no institution with greater capacity to create protected spaces for healing and restoration for survivors, as well as confession, repentance and rehabilitation for perpetrators,” the statement reads.

    Tesla Stock Is Overvalued Even If It Meets Projections

    Reuters/Lucas JacksonTesla slowly rolled out its HW 2.5 update to improve the computing capabilities of older vehicles.

    Things continue to look grim for Tesla, with production bottlenecks and massive capital burn rate perpetually keeping it on the edge of collapse. But while some continue to hold on to hope that the electric automaker will eventually reach profitability, some have already given up hope, believing that the company’s fate is already sealed.

    The company’s market capitalization is currently at $57 billion, surpassing the likes of decades-old Ford and GM while only selling a small fraction of what the old guard can produce. This has prompted many to see the automaker as overhyped and overvalued, even if they somehow manage to turn a profit.

    While Tesla might not be a traditional car manufacturer, it’s still a manufacturer in all sense of the word, and one that is positioned in an industry known for its thin profit margins. With that in mind, analysts are questioning whether its current market cap is justified, whether or not it reaches profitability.

    The automaker claims it will meet its 1 million vehicles a year production goal by 2020. So far, this is possible with sales for its Model S and Model X currently growing at about a 4.5% year-over-year growth rate. This equates to around 120,000 Model S and Model X yearly sales rate by 2020 suggesting that the bulk will be made up of its mass-market Model 3.

    However, this still doesn’t come close to what Ford and GM can put out casting which means its valuation comes from its reputation rather than its business. To put it simply,…
