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

By The Rt Rev. 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

The crucial truth to remember is that when someone comes forward and tells the truth about abuse, they are not the one causing harm to the church.   October 27, 2025   (RNS) — Facing allegations he mishandled abuse incidents in his Anglican Church in North America’s Diocese of the Upper Midwest, Bishop Stewart Ruch wrote to then-Archbishop Foley Beach in January 2022, “Both my diocese and the ACNA got hit this summer by a vicious spiritual attack of the enemy. I believe this

SPECIAL TO VIRTUEONLINE   By Rev. Dr. Ronald H. Moore www.virtueonline.org October 25, 2025   In the modern world, much of what we call “connection” takes place nowhere at all. The great paradox of our digital age is that the more we speak of being connected, the more we live disembodied lives. Our words rise into the cloud, our faces appear as light on a screen, and our sense of community is sustained by notifications and bandwidth rather than presence and touch. Yet the Chr

The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore https://southernanglican.substack.com/ Oct 23, 2025   In the wake of recent allegations against Archbishop Stephen Wood, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) finds itself standing before a mirror. This is not a moment for triumphalism or defensiveness, nor for speculation about guilt or innocence. It is, rather, a moment for introspection—a proving ground for the very principles that gave the ACNA its existence. Every reforming movement eventu

Though if you aren’t a Christian, you may be confused as to why many are unhappy with the appointment. Most of the negative commentary is either written for a church audience, and hence does not ex
