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

In recent years our diocesan leadership has voiced opposition to actions of General Convention and the Church's leaders. The Diocese of South Carolina has joined fewer than 10% of all Episcopal dioceses in an alliance, The Anglican Communion Network, that threatens to lead us out of The Episcopal Church. That small group of dioceses includes none of our neighboring southern dioceses.

Liberal Episcopalians are taking offense that TEC, at long last, is coming under heavy fire for its radical drift of the past several decades. The offense is such that some are thinking the unthinkable -- that "it's time to move on" without the Anglican Communion. More and more are acknowledging that TEC has already, to quote the Windsor Report, "chosen to walk apart". Some are in the throes of denial, but their noisy histrionics are ringing hollow.

As Senior Warden Robert Bell said to me just a few days ago, "there is a storm coming. We need to decide whether we shall attempt to weather it or change course. But we can't ignore it."

January 15 2007 By virtueonline If the Pope can go to Turkey, Can the ABC go to Texas? - by Paul Marshall

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.

Dear Archbishop Akinola,

Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is Mario Bergner and I am an Anglican Priest serving under the leadership of Bishop Keith Ackerman of the Episcopal Diocese of Quincy in Illinois.

January 14 2007 By virtueonline Mark Harris' Manifesto For Walking Apart: Part One - by Gary L'Hommedieu

Canon Harris’ recent manifesto (dated January 11) typifies the attitude of quiet resignation emerging from thoughtful circles within TEC. The title of his blog, “Enough: It Is Time to Move On” captures the essence of the moment, and his measured rhetoric models a “new tone” for the public persona of TEC.

January 12 2007 By virtueonline NORTHERN CALIFORNIA: Bishop Lamb Plays Hard Ball with Fleeing Priest

I have chosen to view David Miller's letter of December 17, 2006 as a request to renounce orders in this church. This action was laid before the clerical members of the Standing Committee on December 26 and 27. They concurred with my acceptance of David Miller's Renunciation of Holy Orders. I pronounced and recorded this action in the presence of two priests of this Diocese on December 27, 2006.

January 11 2007 By virtueonline Out of Africa - by Faith McDonnell

With the headline "At Axis of Episcopal Split, an Anti-Gay Nigerian," the Times story spins the crisis in the Anglican Communion as a simple pro-gay/anti-gay issue. But it wasn't just differing views of homosexuality that led nine parishes in the Episcopal Church's Diocese of Virginia to affiliate with the Province of Nigeria. And it wasn't just an "anti-gay bishop" that brought about the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA).

January 11 2007 By virtueonline Advice to the PB for the Primates Meeting

The prospects for the Dar es Salaam meeting are inauspicious. The meeting will be the the first gathering of the primates since the 2006 General Convention engaged in unseemly and obsequious groveling in what was clearly a doomed effort to get the Anglican Communion to leave us alone. It is the first meeting since the General Convention elected a woman to be Presiding Bishop and certain primates suggested that some of her new colleagues " cannot sit together" with her at the meeting.
