October 26 2015 By dvirtue The Liberal Progressive Word Games of Episcopalians and Catholics

Now, in the course of listening to pansexualists wanting their linguistic way with you, you may feel a strange urge or need to be "compassionate." We strongly advise you to resist the urge because you will only play into their hands. The moment you show any "compassion," you will be accused of harboring years of homophobia that you will need to repent of, along with years of bottled up hatred you have for people you never knew were afflicted with same-sex attractions.

October 22 2015 By dvirtue Last Tango in Canterbury?

A primary question that must be asked is what has kept the Communion together for so long. The answer is, I believe, institutional loyalty. While everyone knows you don't need to go through Canterbury to get to Jesus, it is hard to break filial ties with someone you have loved for nearly 100 years. Case in point: Many years ago I visited the Diocese of Sokoto in Northwest Nigeria.

October 15 2015 By dvirtue CAIRO: Global South Primates and Archbishop Foley Beach Meet to Discuss Welby's Invitation

This will be a Kairos moment for Welby in Cairo. He will be quizzed on whether the aim of the meeting in January is to focus on issues like global warming or whether the faith can be maintained in a Communion "by heresies distressed."

The appearance of ACNA Archbishop Foley Beach is no accident. Canadian Archbishop Fred Hiltz has tried to brush off Archbishop Beach's brief appearance as a side show, but he is wrong. That is not how the GAFCON primates see it.

October 15 2015 By dvirtue ATLANTA: Episcopal Bishop Endorses Pansexuality to Children in Gay Pride Parade

This is not merely the support of a lifestyle condemned by Scripture, the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, the Southern Baptist Convention, numerous evangelical churches, 2000 years of church history, reason, and revelation. The gay lifestyle is now being eulogized and proclaimed as good and right in the eyes of God--because a revisionist Episcopal bishop says so.

October 13 2015 By dvirtue New Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Michael Curry: Amiable Heretic or TEC Savior?

Latest figures reveal The Episcopal Church is in free fall. The average number of Sunday worshipers dropped from 623,691 in 2013 to 600,411 in 2014, a decline of 23,280 persons in the pews, down 3.7 percent. In 2015 that figure is expected to go even lower hitting below the 600,000 mark into 500,000 plus territory. With no millennials or Generation X and Y (the lost generation) in sight, TEC has little future.

TEC's membership peaked in 1966 with a 3,429,153 baptized souls.

October 06 2015 By dvirtue Discipline of The Episcopal Church will be first Item on Primates meeting in Canterbury

A report by the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada Fred Hiltz that ACNA Archbishop Foley Beach had only been invited for one day before the formal meeting gets under way -- "as an opportunity for some conversation, in the ultimate hope that we might be able to find a way forward towards reconciliation," is simply inaccurate. Hiltz described this as "a good thing."

He also wants to stress the love of Jesus, foster social justice, work for reconciliation -- racial and otherwise -- and preside over a church that's open to all, including both supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage.
