|
|
|
The Rt Revd Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester, talks about the most recent ARCIC agreed statement Mary, Grace and Hope in Christ, and urges us all to read the Scriptures more faithfully as we seek to rediscover the unique role of Mary in the incarnation of the Son; many of the suggested problems concerning the dogmas are seen to be entirely consistent with the biblical witness |
