I simply had to share this second video ever posted on my blog. It is a very short, 2 minute and 45 second clip.The video is of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori of the Episcopal Church speaking a few years ago. In the video she seems to be addressing the topic of Soteriology. Moreover, she seems to be addressing the question: if access to God must be through Jesus? At this point in my life as a Christian, I completely agree with her view. I am sharing because it is my understanding that an out of context quote in The New York Times seems to have upset some. I hope you enjoy watching. Blessings!

I suppose that when it comes to soteriology, a couple of things Jesus said make me think about this sort of inclusiveness explained in the video. The Gospel of John, although in some places may sound exclusive, in some it sounds inclusive. For instance, John 10: 16 reads: "And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd (RSV Bible)." Also, John 12:32 reads: "...and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself (RSV Bible)." This is just something to think about!
