Living Through the Word

Today is Grandparents Day. Yes, we know it's nowhere to be found on any liturgical calendar. Yet, we have some pretty incredible grandfathers and grandmothers across ADLW. Many of them are courageous pioneers who God used to help build this diocese. We sat down with three grandparents, two Archdeacons and a Bishop's wife, and asked them how God had changed them through the experience of watching grandchildren grow up in front of them. You will be touched by what they have to say. If you are fortunate enough to have grandparents around, reach out, tell them that you love them, and that you are thankful that God placed them in your life.

Archbishop Jensen opened his interview with these words, demonstrating the heart of a disciple seeking to glorify his Master. This is an apt demonstration of the humility that has been the hallmark of his decades of ministry and leadership. Peter Jensen is a hero of the faith, admired across the globe. He joined us from Sydney and discussed his conversion, the current state of the Church, GAFCON, and his 2005 Boyer Lectures: "The Future of Jesus."
