Plain Talk


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)

Date Recorded: June 02, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

For thousands of years knowledge about the Lord, the afterlife, angels and devils, faith and charity has been clouded with a certain degree of mystery and confusion. One of the promises of the New Church faith is that what was once a mystery can now be understood plainly. The Lord says, “I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language… I will tell you plainly…” (John 16:25). Plain talk seems like something we’d welcome anytime but is that always the case?
