Newly-inducted moderator addresses Assembly

The newly-inducted moderator of the URC General Assembly, the Revd Dr Michael Jagessar, gave a passionate and lively address, appealing to Assembly members to embrace a habit of trusting in a generous God instead of allowing our lives to been determined by scarcity.

He said: The re-authoring of our conversations along positive stories of generosity and abundance is not about avoiding tough questions or not dealing with pain or grief: it is about facing them squarely but through a different set of optics – God’s expansive generosity through Jesus Christ. Here expectancy is nourished and grows into a different kind of current and movement: as people of Haiti say: “with God we can make do”.
