I do not want to go too long without recounting a memory of the late Bishop Harry Jackson.
I can remember that he had spoken out about the work I was doing at the time. The speaking out was particularly harsh.
I accompanied a colleague to confront him in person and I will say it was an unforgettable moment. He came in dressed in his jogging clothes (we were in suits).
It took some time but we were able to convince him that it was important for Christians to approach their brother and sister in private before blasting them in public.
It took all of us awhile to recognize Christ in each other, but we did. I think that lesson to go ahead and apply Christian teaching and trust that God will show up is something I'll never forget.
That I could see Christ in Bishop Jackson is a sign that bridges between Christians of very different types is very possible.
Praying for his family during these times and days.
