Across The Isle
During the summer of 2017, Elder Matthew S. Holland, now a General Authority Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, took a sabbatical to Oxford University in England. There he met the Rev. Dr. Andrew Teal — a chaplain and theologian specializing in Christian church history at Oxford’s Pembroke College.
“There was something in terms of our just personal friendship that linked us, and it felt like something that was not new,” said Elder Holland.
The Rev. Dr. Teal said, “And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
This Church News video, titled “Across the Isle,” features Elder Holland and the Rev. Dr. Teal talking about the friendship and the discussions they shared about their disciplines and perspectives.
“We need to link arms across the isle,” said the Rev. Dr. Teal. “We can't be a part of this culture which just writes people off if they're different from us.”
We seek clarity, charity, and understanding.
