By Rev. Dr. Ronald H. Moore www.virtueonline.org January 2, 2026 There is a moment in every collapsing order when the problem is no longer policy, leadership, or even ideology. The problem becomes something far more basic and far more dangerous:  self-deception . We have reached that moment. The crisis of our age is not merely that nations act unjustly, but that they insist on describing those actions as virtue. We no longer argue about whether something is right or wrong; we

The Fathers and the Faith: How the Early Church Interpreted John 14:6   The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore Dec 17   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” — John 14:6 (NKJV) The words of Christ in John 14:6 form the heartbeat of Christian theology, but they are also the foundation of Christian spirituality. The early Fathers did not read this verse as a philosophical axiom to be dissected—they received it as revelation,

The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore Dec 08, 2025   It is tempting to believe that the decline of the Church means the decline of Christianity. That is the mistake the Church of England’s recent statistics make—and the same illusion many American denominations are beginning to share. A reduction in attendance is not always evidence of a waning faith; sometimes, it signals that the Spirit has moved elsewhere.   According to the Bible Society’s new report The Quiet Revival, church attenda

The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore www.virtueonline.org Dec 07, 2025   Tertullian’s immortal line—“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church”—was not rhetorical flourish but sober theology. Writing in the late second century, amid the savage persecutions of the Roman Empire, the African apologist observed something that history would repeat again and again: every time the world tried to silence the Church, it made her louder. Every attempt to destroy the faith only deepened i

By the Venerable Canon Dr. Kenneth D. Gillespie, OSC www.virtueonline.org November 12, 2025   On October 16, 2025, the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) issued a bold statement declaring "the future has arrived." In this declaration, GAFCON announced it had single handedly reordered the Anglican Communion, rejecting the traditional Instruments of Communion and establishing itself as the authentic expression of global Anglicanism. The statement claims to represent up

COMMENTARY   By David W. Virtue, DD www.virtueonline.org Nov. 5, 2025   The Most Rev. Dr. Samy Fawzy Shehata (Archbishop of the Episcopal/Anglican Province of Alexandria and Diocesan Bishop of Egypt) recently addressed the Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order, in which he called for ongoing work to “serve the unity for which Christ prayed”.   The conference which ran from 24-28 October, explored the theme: 'Where now for visible unity?' It met at the Logos Papal Center o

By Bryan Hollon Oct 24, 2025   What does a faithful church look like?   For those of us in the Anglican tradition, it means children and adult converts are being baptized and confirmed, faithful lay Christians are centered increasingly on Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament – grounded in the biblically saturated liturgies of the Book of Common Prayer. It entails an appreciation for the apostolic faith guarded and transmitted over centuries and received through the English

A Protestant Reappraisal and Rebuttal of Purgatory’s Modern Revival   By J Neil Daniels Oct 24, 2025   I. The Strange Return of an Old Fire Not many doctrines have traveled such a curious path as purgatory. Once the bedrock of late medieval Catholic piety — an invisible realm crowded with suffering souls, masses, indulgences, and anxious relatives — it became, almost overnight, one of the great heresies of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther’s first hammer blows against

Reformation Anglicans see salvation is wholly of God from beginning to end     By Chuck Collins www.virtueonline.org October 21, 2025   Jacobus Arminius, Dutch pastor and theologian, died October 19, 1609. But Arminianism is alive and well in today’s church. This is especially true of American evangelicalism where Christians demand the freedom to pick and choose the elements of our personal creeds, and where we teach our children that they have unlimited potential if they wil

Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore www.virtueonline.org October 17, 2025                 There are passages of Scripture that condense vast theological truths into a few short lines, and Romans 10:14–17 is among them. In four tightly linked verses, St. Paul articulates the divine logic behind evangelism, the vocation of the Church, and the very means by which faith is born. He traces a chain of necessity — from proclamation to hearing, from hearing to belief, from belief to calling, and f
