The Virgin Birth

[VirtueOnline] August 25, 2005--My first Advent in parish ministry, I learned a lesson about a central mystery of the faith. I preached a sermon suggesting that "whatever one may conclude about the historical fact of the Virgin Birth, the important thing is what it points to: the Incarnation of Jesus Christ." After the sermon, the senior warden came up to me and said he was disturbed by my words: "Without the Virgin Birth," he said, "there would be no Incarnation."
