Run the Race with Endurance - H.G. Bishop Angaelos

The 2012 Olympics will be held in the United Kingdom, and in keeping with the theme, HG Bishop Angaelos speaks about 'Running the Race with Endurance', comparing the efforts of an athlete in training to those of a person wishing to embark on and continue their spiritual journey. His Grace speaks about the need to run a personal race, knowing that we also run with support from each other as well as from a 'cloud of witnesses' in heaven. Key Bible verses are as follows: 2 Timothy:4:7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:, and Hebrews:12:2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God..
