Welcome to Christ Church, the Mother Church of Georgia
In 1973, the noted psychiatrist Karl Menninger wrote the work, Whatever Became of Sin? In this book, Menninger chided the Church for abandoning a theological understanding of sin for a therapeutic one. In doing so, the Church compromised such rich historical doctrines as the sinless life of Christ, His atoning death on the cross, and the great benefits received by His bodily resurrection.
We at Christ Church wish to re-discover sin, not to beat ourselves up with shame and guilt, but to bring us to the cross – the place where sin has been dealt with once-for-all.
Lent is that time of year when we look carefully at our sin. We reflect on its ugliness before God and its destructiveness in our lives and relationships. We don’t wallow in it, but we want to appreciate it in all of its weight and substance as recorded for us in Holy Scripture. Such sober reflection is not stagnant, but moves us to the love of God in Jesus Christ, and to the amazing gift of His grace and mercy. Lent is one of the most important times in the Church year because it provides the proper backdrop to the joy and celebration that God intends for us at Easter.
Sinners are welcomed at Christ Church. God accepts you as you are, but the good news is, He won’t leave you where you are! Join us for worship this Lent, and discover the amazing grace and mercy offered sinners in Jesus Christ our Lord.
– The Rev. Marc Robertson
