THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH HAS ABANDONED THE TRUTH AND THE FAITH

By Bonnie J. Fisco

You scramble to agree on an Oversight Plan that will enable you to stay in the Episcopal Church. You have identified yourself as "conservative." Well, I ask you this — would Jesus or Paul or Peter or any one of the apostles describe themselves as "conservative"? The church of Jesus Christ is militant, opposing the enemies of God in constant spiritual warfare.

The sin of the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church far exceeds the single issue of ordaining a homosexual Bishop. This is a manifestation of its most egregious sin, which is its lack of faith. The Church is willing to revise the truth for the sake of unity.

The Episcopal Church is puffed up and proud about what it is doing. It is lifted up by tolerance, prideful about its inclusivity. The Church has revised and interpreted scripture that has sustained us and fed us for thousands of years. She has arrogantly challenged His word with as much deceit and cunning as Satan when he said to Adam and Eve, "Yea, Hath God said ye shall not?"

And to my beloved brethren, I say this: you make haste to negotiate a Delegated Episcopal Oversight (DEPO) but fail to see that you already have the most excellent and perfect oversight — He is among you now. The one who shed His blood on Calvary's hill is the Bishop and Shepherd of our souls.

Cannot the same God that called you to belong to Him lead you onward to your eternal home? This is FAITH: action, based upon belief, sustained by confidence.

It is my most heartfelt prayer that you will quickly acknowledge the oversight that you already have in Christ Jesus, trust Him with your whole being and let Him lead you out from among them.
