"The history of the Church tells the story of God's faithfulness. Even as Jesus promised, the 'gates of hell' have not prevailed nor will ever prevail against the Church. In each generation, the Lord has used untold numbers of men and women to preserve biblical fidelity and to advance the pure gospel. Among these untold numbers and unsung heroes, there have always been uniquely gifted and competent servants whose courageous leadership and resolute commitment to the gospel bear particular gravitas. Archbishop Jensen is such a man. Gentle in spirit, yet courageous in heart, Dr. Jensen has taken strong theological leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ, securing future generations of Christ's people. Into the pluralistic world of political correctness, the Archbishop has spoken unflinchingly concerning the uniqueness of Christ Jesus as the only Way of salvation and has compassionately insisted upon the clear moral compass of Scripture on such subjects as abortion, euthanasia, and homosexuality. Author, educator, preacher, and church leader, the Most Reverend Jensen is surely one of those men of whom it must be said, he 'served the purpose of God in his own generation.' (Acts 13:36)"
