The Silence of Eternity
ISBN-13: 9781844011346 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 128 str.
The new Millennium has dawned, with little indication of peace or salvation on Earth. Indeed, conflict, greed and evil seem to be thriving in the current world climate. In such troubled times, one could not be blamed for questioning God's righteousness and existence, or for feeling that humanity truly has been forsaken. The author sensitively and candidly explores these difficult issues facing the modern Christian, or would-be Christian. Deftly combining the Bible's accounts with current knowledge of science, nature and biology, this book succeeds in renewing and inspiring faith in the purposes of God from the beginning of Creation to his goal in a 'new Heaven and Earth'. Through this, the reader is reminded that the most important thing we can do in the face of difficulties is to have hope, and that, 'An open mind is not a vacant mind...' to close ourselves off to the possibility of deliverance would certainly be the beginning of the end. The author has served in parish ministry for over fifty years. Most of that time was in an urban, down-town parish, also serving as a Rural Dean and in diocesan structures. At national level he was on the General Synod for twenty-five years and chaired various committees. Fifteen years on the international Anglican Consultative Council, six as its Chairman, afforded wide experience of the Anglican Communion.
