Sermons and Addresses: We Believe in One Lord, Jesus Christ ...
Sermons during this term will focus on the second article of the Creeds (Apostles' and Nicene), "We believe in Jesus Christ". Preachers have been invited to reflect on the question: 'Who is Jesus Christ?'. They will do so from a variety of perspectives and, by doing so, may help us all reflect on a version of this question put by Dietrich Bonhoeffer in his Letters from Prison, namely, "Who is Jesus Christ for us, today?"
