January 22 2007 By virtueonline COLORADO SPRINGS: Episcopal parish in sad unrest

"To date, the diocese has refused to supply any supporting facts whatsoever. That's not just odd - it reeks to high heaven!" said parishioner Ed Montgomery, urging the crowd to support a petition accusing O'Neill of "an unconscionable and cruel act against our parish and its principal priest."

Today a 10-member Covenant Design Group, headed by Archbishop Drexel Gomez, is meeting in this country to make a determination on the aberrant sexual proclivities of Anglicans in the United states and Canada, two of the denomination's largest provinces, which supports same sex marriages and has sanctioned the consecration of an openly homosexual bishop.

Chane shared with the national television audience that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all have "holy books and texts" that "are very similar," and "they all focus on the issues of peace and tranquility and brotherhood." He also waxed eloquent: "We share far more in common than we do that divides us. And that which divides us, we can disagree with."

January 19 2007 By virtueonline Is it Anglican well-being or willful amnesia?

Willful amnesia, to say the least, is what the quoted views of Barbara Mann, Steve Skardon and others represent concerning what it means to be an Anglican.

January 19 2007 By virtueonline CHARLESTON,SC: An Open Letter to Episcopalians in South Carolina

It is wise to consider on the meta level his operational principles of directness in truth-telling. Let us also consider his directness in truth-acting: circumcision decisions on Timothy and Titus are radically different because how those decisions related to Gospel truth at certain places in certain times.

I attended Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) and was ordained deacon and priest by Bishop William F. Creighton of Washington, D.C. As a deacon, I served a curacy at Christ Church, Kensington, Md., and then, as a new priest, I was enticed to go to northeast Montana to take three churches at once.
