January 05 2007 By virtueonline A Covenant for a Confused Church - by Chris Sugden

Those promoting this agenda know how to undermine the church and especially the evangelicals who will be the hardest core of resistance.

January 03 2007 By virtueonline Surprise! Washington Post misrepresents truth - by Les Kinsolving

How could the Post also publish - without any apparent editor's checking for accuracy - columnist Meyerson's claim that "[Nigerian Archbishop Peter] Akinola's agenda so touched the hearts of the Northern Virginia faithful that they anointed him, rather than Jeferts Schori, as their bishop"?

January 02 2007 By virtueonline Darkness is My Only Companion: A Christian Response to Mental Illness

Every now and then a book comes along that offers a dramatic breakthrough into understanding this troubling disease. Prof. Kathryn Jamison's 1995 book An Unquiet Mind was one of them. Darkness is My Only Companion: A Christian Response to Mental Illness by Kathryn Greene-McCreight surpasses that one. The author chronicles her five hospitalizations, suicide temptations, and painful struggles with startling honesty.

January 02 2007 By virtueonline The Anglican Way in 2007. Is OPTIMISM appropriate? - Peter Toon

We can also say with reasonable certainty that what the Canadian Anglican Synod decides in July 07 with reference to The Windsor Report and what the American Presiding Bishop (with the Executive Council and House of Bishops of The Episcopal Church) continue to say and do on the same topic will have some general effect upon the Anglican Way globally, as well as in N.A.

December 27 2006 By virtueonline MELBOURNE: The Bishop's new clothes

Considering the "best efforts" of those who have gone before him, Dr Freier noted that not much had changed.

"But even these best efforts have arguably left the suffering of the powerless in the world in much the same misery that they have known," he said.

There is an inescapable irony here. St Paul's Cathedral, historically a citadel to serving others, would appear to ignore the poor clustered around its steps each day.

December 27 2006 By virtueonline Seminary Dean interviewed by the Irish Gazette

Then I read in The Church of England Newspaper a report on John Pickering and he seemed to be being quite vigorously pilloried. It struck me that John had straightforward courage that was quite unusual and because I was in a theological minority in my own denomination, I immediately felt a kind of rapport with John Pickering; he seemed to be taking quite a stand that involved quite a bit of personal cost, so I dropped him a line and he responded very warmly. And I'm still coming here.

December 27 2006 By virtueonline On Religion: Where will unhappy Episcopalians find a home? - by Terry Mattingly

"I could become a Roman Catholic in a heartbeat," said Zahl. "But the minute I say that, I stop and think about it and I know all the reasons that I am an Evangelical and why my spiritual home is in Anglicanism. ... But that doesn't mean that I don't understand why so many people - people I love and respect - have fled to Rome and why many more will follow them."

December 26 2006 By virtueonline ENGLAND: Bid a fond farewell to the English way of religion

Does this sketch still ring true? Only partly. The English way of religion is on the way out. Our traditional religious culture is being radically reshaped, and it's happening surprisingly fast. Every fresh story about veils or crosses is chip-chip-chipping away at the religious culture we have taken for granted for centuries, and creating something new, something far more American.

December 26 2006 By virtueonline ENGLAND: A Confused 'Covenant' - by Tom Wright

The question of how the new document came to be, and who it actually represents, is an interesting one. I am not versed in the labyrinthine politics of current evangelical subgroupings.

December 25 2006 By virtueonline The way we live now - by Geoffrey Kirk

The appointment to the church's senior post of a woman with so little experience and qualification, over a slate of candidates who had clearly been honing their CVs since seminary in the hope of such preferment, demands explanation. And the explanation surely is that Jeffers Schori is Woman for the Hour.
