    The ACNA On Origins

    Well, I'm REC, which is a constituent part of ACNA.... I would actually say that given my experience, it's almost entirely a 60/40 split or so between young earth creationists and old earth creationists, with perhaps a handful of very conservative theistic evolutioners.

    anglicans and salvation of non christians?

    I'm very agnostic on this particular matter myself. I do know that the scriptures, which "cannot be broken", are absolutely clear that no one comes to The Father save through Christ. Yet the question sometimes raised is, can someone come through Christ without explicitly naming him and...

    Sorry It took so long to respond. I phrased things poorly; What I mean is, I got a nasty surprise when I realized that this particular tradition of Christianity I had been introduced to, which I in my naivete thought was surely rock solid, was the subject of so much heavy debate and contention...

    What I'm Reading -- How About You?

    "The Theology of Huldrych Zwingli"--W.P. Stephens Very helpful in understanding said reformer, and the book that really formally solidified reformed thinking for me. I have ordered more of his work and am hunting down 'Institutes' and as much other of Calvin's work I can find. I'm sure some...

    Coptic Pope Shenouda III has died.

    This is terrible... now of all times... Yeah, it'd be good for us to keep these people in our prayers. Many of them are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

    It's all a very bizarre situation for me in particular. I was not a cradle Anglican; I was raised Southern Baptist, underwent many years as an Agnostic Nihilist, then was saved again in a Reformed Episcopal parish without really realizing anything was going on. Needless to say, it came as a...

    ^ I would agree entirely with the above post. It's the prayer book and the articles that make us Anglican, but it's the scriptures and the creeds that make us Christian. If we have ordained bishops and priests that can't say the creed each Sunday without their fingers being crossed behind...

    Resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury

    While it's true I sometimes had disagreements or frustrations with Dr. Williams, I also would like to think I don't have nearly as negative a perception of him as many of the people I hang around with. Hey, the guy did the best he could in an impossible situation. I just pity whoever is...

    ++Cantuar? Place your bets!

    Here's hoping for Chartres, in my book. Though I think Sentamu a more likely pick.

    Ironically, the cathedral seat of the local bishop here in my area, is pretty tolerant and accepting of just about anything, and they'd probably administer communion to an iguana if they thought it wanted it. But the one thing they cannot stretch quite far enough to make room for in their...

    Resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury

    I am ashamed (but in kind of a positive, refreshed way, strangely) that the remarks about His Grace retiring here are infinitely more positive than what I see elsewhere in Anglican forums/blogs.

    I would add one caveat---Obviously, the things that are doctrinal heresy like the denial of the resurrection, etc., are one thing, but the situation may seem even more frustrating to someone who is just conservative and very orthodox in general, because of other issues like the homosexuality...

    I Am Frustrated by my fellow Anglicans

    It's safe to say, in my opinion, that Anglicanism, while it's never been overly tidy to begin with, is in a more disheveled state than has historically been the case. I am truly disturbed as well because I wonder occasionally, just for a moment at the time, if I am in the wrong place...

    pope has his own perfume

    It seems a little silly to me, but hey, being the Pope has to have a few perks here and there, right?
