God help the Anglicans

June 23 2007 By virtueonline UGANDA: Archbishop writes about new American Bishop John Guernsey

Likewise, we have always said that we will be there for you and not abandon you, and we stand by that commitment and our word. At the same time, we have said that we would do everything we can to work towards a Biblically orthodox domestic ecclesial entity in the USA so that at some point in the future, we could "repatriate" you.

June 22 2007 By virtueonline EXTRAMURAL ANGLICANS - by Robert Mercer

Somehow during the last few years I have acquired the notion that the present Archbishop of Canterbury publicly received the sacrament after preaching in a famous Methodist church in London. In other words I am asking you: are the free churches now in communion with Canterbury? If they are though perhaps in a very Anglican way there can never be a very simple answer to a simple question if they are, nobody regards the free churches as being Anglican.

June 21 2007 By virtueonline On "Making the Case"...NOT - David Curry

But is it really so straightforward? The paper suggests a certain ambivalence about whether this should be done everywhere in the Anglican Communion, though the argument clearly states that the blessing of same-sex unions should not only be recognized universally in the Communion but celebrated everywhere. There is no room for any other view and the classical teaching about marriage is given short-shrift.

June 21 2007 By virtueonline How can Christ's High-priestly Prayer that his Church be One ever become Reality

Christ is the only Truth, the only Way we enter into Life with God. Yet, obviously there are many ways to Christ. Some Christian believers are attracted by the goodness and righteousness of God. It has always made sense for them to believe in God. Others come to faith as a result of experiencing breakdown in their life: they know what it means to be made whole through forgiveness of sin, through the reconciled relationship God offers us in Christ.

June 21 2007 By virtueonline EDMONTON: Gay attack on Catholic church

Apparently the sodo,mites used deception to rent the banquet room and they obviously expected confrontation as they posted two Edmonton Police Service plain clothes officers at the door of my church's banquet room.

June 20 2007 By virtueonline Case Not Made: Gagnon Responds to Prof. Thorp on Gay Unions

Although Thorp apologizes in his preface for the limited scope of his essay, this does not stop him from making many bold claims. He ends with the following: "Gay liberation is clearly the work of the Spirit. How can it reasonably be judged otherwise?" (p. 29; his emphasis). He believes that the case he has made for blessing homosexual unions at three levels-Scripture, Tradition, and Reason-"easily overcomes the surface prohibitions" against homosexual practice in Scripture (p.

June 19 2007 By virtueonline Changing the way the Church of England chooses bishops

Under legislation expected to receive Parliamentary approval and Royal assent this summer, a national body will be given sweeping powers to recommend the closure or reorganisation of dioceses and the scrapping of suffragan or assistant bishop posts.

The legislation was initially drawn up three years ago, partly in response to criticism that the Church was becoming increasingly top-heavy, stifling grass-roots growth.

The crisis, while focused upon the consecration of a divorced, non-celibate homosexual having been consecrated bishop (the Church leader responsible for maintaining the teaching and witness of the Church), is only the flash point. "When you abandon one part of Holy Scripture you open the whole to be a matter of individuals picking and choosing the parts that suit their liking" said Vice-President William Ilgenfritz, a priest of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

June 15 2007 By virtueonline Beers Writes Letter to Schori. A Satirical Essay - C. FitzSimons Allison

If we succeed in capturing their churches, in most cases, the small remnant which remains will find the cost of operation and upkeep prohibitive. To sell the properties would be a public relations fiasco. I now believe it would be a better strategy to follow the policy of your predecessor, Frank Griswold, and let the property matters be merely a matter between the parish and the diocese.
