March 27 2004 By virtueonline AAC: President Says DEPO Plan is a No-Go

From our standpoint DEPO is a NO-GO. It represents bad faith on the part of the liberal revisionists of the HOB.

They are not interested in providing real pastoral care for the faithfully orthodox Christians in ECUSA, but they are interested in smoke and mirrors to try and ward off action by the Primates.

March 27 2004 By virtueonline Convocation Deans of the Anglican Communion Network Blast HOB DEPO Plan

Under DEPO, the power and prerogatives of the bishops are paramount, while genuine concern for parishioners is lost. It shows that the House of Bishops is not serious about reform which would respond to the concerns of the Primates.

Performing services in a bishop's territory without his permission is a breach of Episcopal church law.

Wednesday, the denomination's House of Bishops released a statement calling the actions "discourteous, disruptive and a willful violation of our Constitution and Canons."

They warned that if it happens again, the clergy members will be brought to trial.

Allison said Thursday he found the bishops' censure hypocritical.

March 26 2004 By virtueonline AAC: Five Senior Bishops Respond to House of Bishops' Censure

The House of Bishops continues its long retreat from its sworn responsibilities concerning the Christian faith, from the time of Bishop James Pike to Bishop John Spong's "12 Theses", to its present failure to support faithful Episcopalians in unfaithful dioceses.

Retired bishops FitzSimons Allison of South Carolina, Maurice Benitez of Texas, William Cox (assisting) of Oklahoma, Alex Dickson of West Tennessee and William Wantland of Eau Claire confirmed 110 individuals from five congregations and celebrated the Eucharist on March 14 in Akron, without the knowledge and permission of the Bishop of Ohio, J.

March 25 2004 By virtueonline PLANO: A Broken Ladder. Rector says HOB Plan Should be Ignored

The Episcopal Church (ECUSA) voted at last year’s convention to consecrate as bishop a man who is living in a homosexual partnership. In addition, they voted to regard the blessing of same sex unions as within the boundaries of church practice. Both decisions are fatal errors and cannot stand the test of time. God will not bless these actions that so flagrantly disregard the clear teaching of Scripture – teaching so abundantly clear even in a casual reading of the Bible.

March 25 2004 By virtueonline NACDP: HoB Oversight Plan will take 'extraordinary new levels of trust'

"The Network bishops will do what they can to enable the plan’s success," he added. "I am deeply concerned that we are able to offer Adequate Episcopal Oversight as the Primates understand it. The question is whether there is the will in the Episcopal Church to make this plan into that," said Duncan. "My commitment, and that of the Network, is to stand in solidarity with people of faith who are desperately struggling in some of our dioceses."

March 25 2004 By virtueonline FIFNA: HoB DEPO Statement Unacceptable

We have a church (or as Father Sam Edwards would say, an "unchurch") that has been declared to be in rebellion, disobedient to the whole counsel of God, by the vast majority of baptized members of the Anglican Communion, as well as the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Although the bishops say that the church is "to be a trustworthy sign to the world of this costly reconciling power of God," they mean that the orthodox must be "reconciled" to the agenda of ECUSA.
