The Ugley Vicar: The Place of Dogma and Emotion in Evangelism

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2007/03/place-of-dogma-and-emotion-in.html

Friday, 9 March 2007. The Place of Dogma and Emotion in Evangelism. 141 EVANGELISM has been defined as confronting the individual soul with the reality of God in Christ. If such a personal presentation of the Gospel is to win the decisive response of Conversion, two requirements are necessary:—. 1) First, the Gospel must be “proclaimed,” as by a herald. In other words, to “preach the Gospel” means preaching Christian dogma. THE PLACE OF DOGMA IN EVANGELISM. THE PLACE OF EMOTION IN EVANGELISM. In all evan...

The Ugley Vicar: The Part of the Laity in Evangelism

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2007/03/part-of-laity-in-evangelism.html

Friday, 9 March 2007. The Part of the Laity in Evangelism. 112 The inalienable right and duty of the laity to take its full part in the spiritual work of the Church, finds forceful expression all down the Church’s history. [.]. It is not, therefore, as a matter of expediency that we put the mobilisation of the laity for the work of evangelism in the very forefront of our Recommendations. It is a matter of simple obedience to a Divine command. Usually they are pre-occupation and reticence. As we have seen...

The Ugley Vicar: The Part of the Clergy in Evangelism

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2007/03/part-of-clergy-in-evangelism.html

Friday, 9 March 2007. The Part of the Clergy in Evangelism. 88 [] The spiritual temperature of a congregation depends chiefly on the parish priest. [.] Generally speaking the Church cannot rise higher than the lives of its clergy. The parish priest must, also, himself exercise a converting ministry, charged as he is at his ordination "to seek for Christ's sheep that are dispersed abroad." [.]. 93 The decrying of Preaching. In the words of both Franciscan and Dominican writers, the surprising assertion is...

The Ugley Vicar: Baptism, ritual and actual

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2013/11/baptism-ritual-and-actual.html

Saturday, 2 November 2013. Baptism, ritual and actual. The other day I was having a talk with a couple from our congregation about baptism. As readers of this blog may realize, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this subject recently, and as a consequence of this, it seemed helpful to suggest to them a distinction between ‘ritual’ and ‘actual’ baptism. Others may find this helpful too. 8217; (Acts 8:36). It is real — it has actually happened. There is, however, another baptism — the baptism in (o...

The Ugley Vicar: Explaining the Gospel? Baptism Should Help

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2013/11/explaining-gospel-baptism-should-help.html

Wednesday, 20 November 2013. It has long intrigued me that when Philip explained the gospel to the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40, the conversation ended with a request for baptism. The eunuch (you may remember) was in his chariot, returning from Jerusalem and reading from a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Philip had been prompted by the Holy Spirit to go and meet this chariot, and when he heard the eunuch reading, he took the opportunity to get up alongside him. 8217; The answers given tend to vary, but...

The Ugley Vicar: The Training of the Clergy in Evangelism

http://ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/2007/03/training-of-clergy-in-evangelism.html

Friday, 9 March 2007. The Training of the Clergy in Evangelism. 103 [] Definite instruction in the art and methods of evangelism should be provided by lectures before ordination, and by Schools of Training after ordination. 106 The basic fact is that the parochial clergy are now all too few. They cannot, therefore, get free from the necessary routine duties of a parish in order to give themselves to the absorbing personal and pastoral ministry of evangelising their people. [.]. From Towards the Conversio...
