(Image: The Sun's Rays Streaming Through Stained Glass Windows of a Cathedral) By The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore The Southern ANGLICAN Mar 04, 2026 There has been a subtle but unmistakable shift in our culture. Once, our public spaces were warm — wood, color, texture, earth tones. Even secular architecture carried a sense of rootedness. Restaurants were vibrant. Homes were paneled in natural wood. Cars came in blues, greens, reds, and deep autumn shades. Christmas lights glowed in

Dr. Alice C. Linsley Biblical Anthropology blogspot February 17, 2026 As a Christian anthropologist, I read the Bible to understand how the biblical Hebrew reasoned. Their reasoning is not well represented by the term "complementarian" because that term suggests that there is no hierarchy in their reasoning. That is a false assumption. Orthodoxy requires binary reasoning. That is how the Bible presents the male-female relationship. To understand binary reasoning, we must cons

By Peter Johnston ANGLICAN COMPASS February 3, 2026   For more than 400 years, the Anglican tradition has played a central role in the development of the United States of America. The intellectual culture of recent decades has obscured this historical truth, both on account of revisionist historians who see America as a secular nation and also by the failure of Anglicans to tell our own story. But as lifelong Anglican George Washington wrote in 1794, “truth will ultimately pr

The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore www.virtueonline.org Jan 1, 2026 Some men are not born monsters. They become dangerous because no one ever taught them how to bear their wounds. The modern world produces these men in increasing numbers — fatherless, rootless, angry, lonely, and hungry for purpose. They are not villains in the beginning. They are boys who were never discipled, men who were never pastored, souls who were never told that their worth does not hang upon their own greatne

By Wolfhart Pannenberg Good News Magazine   Can love ever be sinful? The entire tradition of Christian doctrine teaches that there is such a thing as inverted, perverted love. Human beings are created for love, as creatures of the God who is Love. And yet that divine appointment is corrupted whenever people turn away from God or love other things more than God.   Jesus said, "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me..." (Matt. 10:37, NRSV). Love for God

By Gerald R. McDermott https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/ December 8, 2025   It would be perverse to charge all fulfillment theology with antisemitism. Many reject Christian Zionism for the plausible (but unfounded) reasons described in Mattson’s piece, and many are clearly philo-Semitic. But it might not be a bad idea for some of them to ask what W. D. Davies and other theologians started asking in the 1970s: “How did Christian Europe come to hate Jews?”   I will never forg

Rev. Dr. Donald P. Richmond www.virtueonline.org December 7, 2025   As I have gotten older, I have noted that my body needs to make adjustments. One of the many adjustments that I have had to make relates to foods, what I eat and how I eat. Certain foods now need to be avoided and, along with this, I must also be far more mindful and moderate about what I ingest and how quickly I ingest it. Wisdom suggests moderation, and, if I am not wise, I develop a case of the hiccups.  

Archbishop Elect Sarah Mullally A Southern Baptist leader takes a hard look at the coming leadership of the Church of England and how it will impact the Anglican Communion. By R. Albert Mohler, Jr. November 6, 2025 The Church of England announced Friday that the Right Reverend and Right Honorable Dame Sarah Mullally has been named the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. She will be the first female to serve as priestly leader of the church, which claims a 1,400-year history. Form

By Ronald Moore www.virtueonline.org December 2nd 2025 "Is the church dying?" The question arises with regularity in Western societies—and not without cause. In nearly every denomination, membership is falling, clergy are aging, and doctrinal fidelity is eroding. Weekly church attendance in the United States—which in the modern era has remained more church-going than Europe—has dropped steadily over the past two decades. Younger generations are increasingly unaffiliated, and

The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore Nov 17, 2025   Some questions arrive like a spark in dry grass — they do not burn immediately, but they smolder until the wind shifts. Artificial intelligence and the Great Commission is one of those questions. It is not going away, and it will not remain theoretical. It presses on the Church whether we are ready or not. The Christian Today article linked above asks in a straightforward way whether AI can—or should—assist the Church in proclaiming th

Dr. Marshall MacClellan www.virtueonline.org November 13, 2025   Growing up helping my grandfather on his cattle ranch I remember his old adage, “It’s useless to beat a dead horse.” This phrase comes to mind as I look at the woes of the ACNA TITLE IV discipline process and the train of litigation running. In the upcoming 2026 ACNA Provincial assembly, delegates will debate adjustments to the current disciplinary process.   In this author’s view, the judicial fr

Anglican Watch Nov. 8, 2025 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.” Matthew 23:1-4 Faithful of the ACNA, Several months ago Rachel Thebeau released a bombshell let

OPINION   By Warren Cole Smith MINISTRY WATCH November 1, 2025   The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a small but mighty denomination. To use an expression from boxing, it is a denomination that “punches above its weight.” Founded just 15 years ago, it has grown to more than 1000 congregations and a membership of 120,000.   It also has a strong presence in places like Dallas and Colorado Springs, cities that are home to significant evangelical institutions. So, you

By Mark D. Thompson The Gospel Coalition October 31, 2025 On All Saints’ Eve 1517, Martin Luther changed the shape of Europe and the world forever. However it was done—and I don’t think Luther was beyond the theatrical flourish of nailing his famous Ninety-five Theses to the church door himself—when Luther’s arguments against indulgences were released on the world, the Protestant Reformation began. Luther remains a controversial figure today, and with good reason. Yet it’s s
