Your first congregation
The ongoing influence of John and Charles Wesley is
unquestioned, and exponentially growing. Their contribution to the Christian
church is well attested and we should be grateful for these two men of God. But
whenever we speak of John and Charles we must keep in the back of our minds
someone else, for as the old saying goes, “Behind every great man is a great
woman.” Well, behind these two great men is undoubtedly one of
the greatest women of Christian history, their mother, Susanna Wesley.
Much has been written about Susanna, as a mother of 19 (not
all of whom survived childhood), the wife of a minister who was skilled in many
things, but distinctly lacking aptitude in others, she was left at times as the
sole carer of her children. What is significant, though, is the way in which
she sought to treat her children as her own ministry responsibility.

Scripture and Same-Sex Marriage
I have to say, I’m not a “doomsday” Christian on this. I don’t think
it’s going to cause society to crumble in a heap of moral decay. I don’t think
it will tear at the very fabric of society, nor do I think that it will weaken
the institution of marriage.
