The installation service was a historic moment as former President Paul Larsen also participated in the installation service \u2013 Larsen and Palmberg are the only living former Covenant presidents.<\/p>\n<p>Another special moment came with the offering of the prayer of blessing by Walter\u2019s former colleague, Jim Persson (lower photo), who preceded Walter as head of the Department of Church Growth and Evangelism. To see additional photos from the service, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item6393\" target=\"_blank\">Installation Moments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Walter\u2019s message was indeed a defining one. Anchoring his message in the James 1:22-25 passage, Walter created a sense of context by recalling the formation of the Covenant in 1885 and reminding his listeners of the qualities that defined that founding group. He cited an 1893 description of the Covenant that its leaders formulated in response to a request by the global symposium on the world\u2019s religions that was part of the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Covenant is not a church organization in the ordinary sense, but a mission society having churches as its members,\u201d the group wrote. \u201cThese churches have consolidated together because of the missionary spirit that led them to missionary enterprises too large for any single church to undertake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the framing image for the Evangelical Covenant Church from the very beginning was that of a mission society \u2013 followers of Christ coming together to do the work of Christ in the world,\u201d Walter noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the point,\u201d he continued. \u201cFrom the very beginning, the Covenant\u2019s commitment has been to join together, not principally to be talkers about the word, nor philosophers on the word, but at the core to be doers of the word, to live out the priorities of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on numerous examples from Jesus\u2019 life, Walter pointed out that Jesus never sought consensus. \u201cHe said follow me, do what I say.\u201d Jesus was not interested in intellectual assent; rather, he seeks a response of the heart, hands, and feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/Xj\/JJ\/XjJJP4sb5DAN-ZhSJJRESA\/Prayer.jpg\" alt=\"Installation\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"left\" \/>Walter linked the elements of belief and action in this memorable statement founded on the James text: If there is no link between creed and deed, then there is no credibility in our faith, and we deceive ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>He then explored the three urgencies in scripture revealed in his studies as they link to the command to be doers of the word.<\/p>\n<p>First is the call to evangelism \u2013 the sharing of the good news. \u201cEvery Covenant president has said the same thing,\u201d Walter declared. \u201cIt is no small matter to God that there are lost people \u2013 and it must become no small matter to us, or we deceive ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the words of former President Milton Engebretson, Walter reminded the audience that \u201cif evangelism is not the first priority, it will become no priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walter shared some of his personal faith journey, noting that it was the \u201cdoing\u201d of First Covenant Church in San Francisco in crossing the Golden Gate Bridge to plant a church in Marin County that played a significant role in his conversion and call to ministry. Friends attending that church plant invited Walter to visit. \u201cThere was a young pastor who actually cared about me, and I learned that the God of the entire universe loved even me, that I am a friend of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was in that church that Walter committed his life to Christ, sensed his call into ministry, and eventually met his wife, Nancy. \u201cEverything important in my life \u2013 my faith, my family, and my vocation . . . it all traces back to Covenant folks being doers of the word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/Us\/gY\/UsgYAXr5zN5S7fXwBjTcNg\/Library---1097.jpg\" alt=\"Jim\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"right\" \/>The second urgency in scripture is the call to be doers of the word in areas of compassion, mercy, and justice. \u201cIt is no small matter to God that there are hurting people in the world \u2013 and it will be no small matter to us. We deceive ourselves if we think otherwise and fail to act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our response requires more than just sincere sympathy for those who are hurting, Walter suggests. Quoting Debbie Blue\u2019s oft-stated illustration, Walter said compassion pulls people out of the river; justice goes upstream to stop those who are pushing them in.\u201d Jesus wants more than sympathy for hurting people \u2013 he wants us to help them, to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are people of the book,\u201d Walter reminded the audience. \u201cOne cannot believe in the centrality of the word without embracing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third urgency in scripture is the call to be the whole church \u2013 to experience unity in Christ. \u201cIt is no small matter to God that the world is fractured, and that the church is too often as well . . . and so it will be no small matter to us. We deceive ourselves if we think otherwise and fail to act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world is fractured along three primary fault lines, Walter said in paraphrasing the apostle Paul. The three lines are race, class, and gender. \u201cBut, through the cross, Christ has ushered in a new community \u2013 Paul says that in Christ, there is neither Jew or Greek (race), slave or free (class), male or female (gender). The cross creates a new community where all of God\u2019s children are valued and celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three urgency themes are unmistakable, Walter suggests, because they reflect the character of God: seeking (evangelism), healing (compassion, mercy and justice), and reconciling (unity). \u201cEverything relevant in my life traces back to the first Covenant people who were willing to be doers of the word, making sure they were not listeners only, but rather that their lives were relevant to the purposes of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then closed with this challenge: There are still lost people. There are still hurting people. There are still fractured people. All of these now need us to be doers of the word. Are you ready? Will you join in?<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nEditor\u2019s note: The video broadcast of this evening\u2019s service will be posted to the Annual Meeting section of the Covenant website for downloading and viewing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=2061&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GREEN LAKE, WI (June 25, 2008) \u2013 It was a message that speaks volumes about the vision newly elected Evangelical Covenant Church President Gary Walter sees for the denomination that he credits with bringing him to faith and nurturing his call to ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Walter: Doers of the Word \u2013 Are We Ready?
