Letter to the editor : Social justice and the theology of the Cross

Notes: "I perceive that there has been a shift in the Anglican Church of Canada’s official position, and in what the Anglican Journal publishes. This is a change to emphasize social justice issues, from an emphasis on what might be called the theology of the Cross. This social justice change is reflected in the Book of Alternative Services and in the outstanding good being done through the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund. ... The Cross ministry of Jesus enables us to love ourselves so that we can love our neighbour. It is highlighted in the Book of Common Prayer’s eucharistic prayer. Both are valid promotions of the Kingdom of God as demonstrated in and through Jesus". " Both are implicitly included in the other; yet both need to be explicitly taught so that one does not get lost in the other. Social justice and the Cross complement each other".
