January 20 2008 By virtueonline Why a Global Anglican Future Conference? - Chris Sugden

The convening Primates have said that their pastoral responsibility requires that they provide an opportunity for their bishops who would normally have looked to the Lambeth Conference, to meet for prayer, fellowship and counsel on matters vital to their church's mission and ministry.

January 16 2008 By virtueonline OTTAWA: Same-Sex Marriage Issue Could End in a Big Divorce

This time around, a bedroom matter perhaps more radical than Henry VIII could ever have fathomed threatens to leave another historical landmark on Anglicanism. But rather than rally the Anglican Church under one roof, this modern-day bedroom controversy threatens to tear the church apart. And into this fray entered the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa when last October it voted 177 to 99 to recognise the blessing of marriage for same-sex couples who have been civilly married.

January 16 2008 By virtueonline A house divided - by sodomy - Les Kinsolving

That means that this diocese - in which George Washington was once a parochial lay leader - has already spent $1 million and has decided to borrow another 1 million to pay for the cost of suing a dozen local churches.

Two of these dozen, Truro in Fairfax and The Falls Church (in the community named for it) were in existence prior to the Revolutionary War and were part of the Church of England.

January 14 2008 By virtueonline You can be like God: Bishop Robinson tells us what the Scriptures really mean

Never before have I heard such a tangled morass of deceptions from someone representing himself as a man of God. I found as I listened again and again to his speech that it was so laden with misinformation and outright falsehood that I became bogged down and found it difficult to choose which deceptions to focus on.

January 11 2008 By virtueonline The Church of England's Global Anglican Future - Charles Raven

Much as we should welcome any protest against Mugabe's appalling regime, it is difficult to escape a certain sense of unease about this gesture. Condemning that which everyone else is also opposed to and for which you have no responsibility earns you effortless approval, but would it not have been much more genuinely prophetic if Dr. Sentamu had used the occasion to acknowledge the historic crisis engulfing the Anglican Communion?

January 10 2008 By virtueonline The Anglican Communion is Pregnant - Harald Haugan

Liturgical churches many times are like older couples. They get set in their ways, delight in family, home and settling in with old friends in the comfort zones of familiarity. Mission, evangelism and discipling? We've been there, done that and got the shirt. Anyway that's why we hired a clergyman. As long as I have my Sunday service and a good Christmas and Easter experience I'm satisfied. What I believe is personal. I don't want to impose that on others.

January 09 2008 By virtueonline Segregation: Muslim Style - Cal Thomas

Bishop Nazir-Ali warns of attempts to give Britain an increasingly Islamic character by introducing the call to prayer and wider use of Sharia law, a legal system based on the Koran.

January 09 2008 By virtueonline The Windsor Process and the Lambeth Conference 2008

Why? The answer may be stated in a sentence. The very assembling of the Conference at the appointed time (ten years after the last) comes within (and maybe towards the end of) what is usually called "The Windsor Process:" therefore, the Lambeth Conference of 2008 is inevitably and inextricably bound up with this "Process" and this is problematic for many bishops.
