May 05 2023 By dvirtue Apostasy and Revival: How the Church of England Is Being Replaced by a More Godly Anglican Church

This tragic moment came as the culmination of a six-year process called 'Living in love and faith' or LLF for short which I have come to rename 'living in lust and fornication', as the supposed purpose of this protracted process was discussing different views in the church to find a way forward that respected all, however, it was clearly a vehicle to push for a change in practice at a national level.

May 04 2023 By dvirtue CANONICAL DEFENSE OF THE KIGALI COMMITMENT

In addition to the historic see of the Archbishop of Canterbury, those "Instruments" are the "Anglican Consultative Council," the decennial (or so) Lambeth Conferences, and the "Primates' Meeting." None of these "Instruments" has stopped the slide of Welby's communion into irrelevance and eventual oblivion.

May 02 2023 By dvirtue THE WELCOME DEMISE OF AMERICAN FUNDAMENTALISM

In reacting to Protestant liberalism, the Fundamentalists failed to resource the Tradition of the Church where they would have discovered their most valuable arguments against the growing apostasy of Protestant Liberalism.

April 29 2023 By dvirtue GAFCON has called on the CofE to repent over same-sex marriage -- here's what it means for the Church

WHAT IS GAFCON?

GAFCON is a global movement of Anglicans who claim to be standing together to retain and restore the Bible to the heart of the Anglican Communion. It describes its mission as: "guarding the unchanging, transforming gospel of Jesus Christ and proclaiming him to the world". With nine Archbishops who support its aims, GAFCON claims to represent the views of the majority of the world's Anglicans.

April 28 2023 By dvirtue A "reset" of the Anglican Communion

Predictably, that policy has failed the test of unity. Neither faithful Christians within the Church of England nor the majority of Anglicans worldwide deem this an acceptable way forward. In fact, this policy's adoption has resulted in a clear, forthright denouncement from the majority of the world's Anglicans in the form of the Kigali Commitment.

April 28 2023 By dvirtue INDIGENIZING GLOBAL ANGLICANISM: The Next Step in Resetting the Anglican Communion

It is my hope that this revival, reform, and reordering of the Communion may follow apace. But I do recall a similar hope five years ago. I had been on the Statement Group that produced the "Letter to the Churches" from GAFCON III in Jerusalem. This statement had set out similar bold expectations and was greeted with similar acclaim. Many of those hopes remained unrealized five years later.

April 26 2023 By dvirtue GAFCON IV: Lessons from a Communion in Birth Pains

Those of us who gathered last week in Kigali, Rwanda, for the fourth Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON IV) are believing and praying this crisis is the birth pains of a renewed Communion, not its death throes.

April 26 2023 By dvirtue AN HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION: KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE GAFCON IV KIGALI COMMITMENT

It is no accident Gafcon leaders chose this passage. It reflects the poignant and sacrificial moment of sifting in which the Anglican Communion finds itself--sifting between those who will remain faithful to Jesus and his teachings and those who have "betrayed their ordination and consecration vows to banish error and to uphold and defend the truth taught in Scripture."

April 24 2023 By dvirtue GAFCON IV -- The Kigali Commitment. Working together for Reformation and Revival

By colonialism it seems what was meant is the concept that the government of one nation has control of the governance of another nation, whereas, on a spiritual plain it is the idea that a national Church of one country should have dominion over the Church of another country.

Knock-knock.... (door is eventually opened by a person holding and stroking a Yorkshire Terrier)

'Yes?'

'Afternoon, Mum. We'd like to speak with Mr. Canterbury, please. Oh! Ah, No offense. I was just confused by the dress. Would you be Mr. Canterbury, then, Sir?'

'This is not a dress. I'm wearing a robe.'

'Right. Very good, Sir. Harold here likes to dress up, too!'

'Oi, knock it off, mate!'
