[Anglican Mainstream] 1 June 2007--Who is Jesus? Agent or Presence of God?

The question of Who Jesus is remains central to the debates in the Anglican Communion. On December 14, the blog An Exercise in the Fundamentals of Orthodoxy posted a satirical Christmas Carol supposedly being sung by leaders of the Episcopal Church, entitled “O come let us ignore him”. www.peter-ould.net

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali addressed this central issue in his second Chavasse Lecture at Wycliffe Hall: Who is Jesus? The Unique and Universal Christ. Is Jesus simply an agent of God (however exalted) or the presence of God among his people?
