And like the royal family, the church needs to renegotiate how it holds on to the past and contextualizes for the present.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While there are some who are very critical of the couple for abandoning tradition\u2014accusing them of dereliction of their taxpayer-funded duties\u2014others like myself are more supportive of the Sussexes\u2019 progressive stance. Their desire to prioritize one another, be financially independent, and champion causes close to their heart despite great sacrifice is praiseworthy. Many are hopeful that this will catalyze the modernization of the monarchy and facilitate it to further its positive contribution to the UK\u2019s and the Commonwealth\u2019s public life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Christians should consider carefully our response to this latest episode with \u201cHarry and Meghan.\u201d The church and the royal family have more in common than we might at first imagine. Both are ancient institutions struggling with recent scandals of high-profile members failing to deal adequately with accusations of sexual abuse; accused of being biased against women and non-inclusive of people of color; and now apparently losing the allegiance of a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BUCKINGHAM PALACE: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royal.uk\/statement-her-majesty-queen\">The Queen&#8217;s Statement on Harry and Meghan<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheatsheet.com\/entertainment\/what-religion-is-aaron-rodgers.html\/\">What Religion is Aaron Rodgers?<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aaron-Rodgers-1024x759-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4489\" width=\"415\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aaron-Rodgers-1024x759-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aaron-Rodgers-1024x759-1-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aaron-Rodgers-1024x759-1-768x569.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><figcaption> Aaron Rodgers | Rey Del Rio\/Getty Images <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Stephen Nichols: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.5minutesinchurchhistory.com\/the-life-of-bunyan\/\">5 Minutes in Church History: John Bunyan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CT:  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/pastors\/2019\/fall\/im-pastor-irl.html\">Declare His Glory Among the News Feeds <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Let your digital self also be no longer you who live but Christ who lives in you, and the life you now live in the flesh\u2014or online\u2014you live \u201cby faith in the Son of God\u201d (Gal. 2:20).&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VIDEO: Funeral Service for Lois Evans, wife of Pastor Tony Evans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr. Lois Irene Evans | A Celebration of Life and Legacy\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FGxsa8vLU4Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
