(ACNS4513) The sermon given by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Concluding Eucharist of the Fourteenth Lambeth Conference, Christ Church Cathedral, Canterbury, 3 August 2008
"In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
‘We are witnesses,’ says Peter in our reading from Acts, ‘of what Jesus did in Judea, Jerusalem and Galilee’ (10.39). We have a story to tell. But to be ‘witnesses’ can, at first, sound almost as if it’s not strong enough or particular enough. Witnesses get called in law suits; they’re bystanders very often, who can tell you what happened. It could be almost anybody. But the apostolic witness is something different. It’s not only that Peter has been a bystander at events in Judea and Jerusalem; not that he and his friends have seen Jesus from a distance, but that the story that they have to tell is a story that has changed them. And what they have seen has opened up in them depths and capacities they never knew. They are witnesses not just to what Jesus did in Judea and Jerusalem, they are witnesses to his resurrection, they have eaten and drunk with him after he was raised from the dead. Something has entered into them that makes them not bystanders, but sharers in life. And so when they tell this story, things happen to others as things had happened to them.
‘As he was speaking the Holy Spirit descended.’ (10.44) A rather terrifying moment you might think. Peter in mid-flow suddenly surrounded by an explosion of charismatic phenomena. But the story that is told is just that – a story that makes things happen. And at the end of his gospel, St John says that that is the story he has been telling, a story designed to make things happen. ‘All this is written so that you may believe.’ (John 20.31) so that something may happen to you and go on happening.
So what exactly does it mean for a story to be told in such a way that things begin to happen? ...... "
"In these last two weeks we’ve often spoken, both in the bishops’ and in the spouses’ conference, about telling our stories.
