The Judas Church - David Kyle Foster
Jesus warned of a time when "many will turn away from the faith", when "many false prophets will appear and deceive many people" (Mt 24:10-11). We have seen this prophecy repeatedly fulfilled throughout history, and yet what we see happening today in the church has not been seen since the days of the Borgia and Medici popes.

MISSION IN NORTH AMERICA TODAY - Michael Green
Despite the request of the Primates, there are currently some 40 property lawsuits being conducted by the Episcopal lawyers against churches which have left. This provides an added threat to the orthodox who remain. But the Network which primarily consists of the orthodox rump within TEC, with additions, has refused to get disgruntled or negative.

A Second Betrayal - by Samson N. Gitau
To understand the Global South's reaction and rejection of the no doubt attractive social gospel propagated by The Episcopal Church, one has to go back to the planting of the church in the Global South, especially in Africa. By the turn of the 20th century, Christianity was hardly known in most of Africa. However, that does not mean that Africans were not religious.

Heresy Precedes Homosexuality - by Albert Mohler
For liberals, Bishop Robinson is a sign of hope. The liberal wing of institutional Christianity represents a call for theological revolution in order, they would argue, to liberate Christianity from repressive doctrines and an oppressive tradition. The election of Gene Robinson as the Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire is, they sense, the shape of things to come.

Seceding from The Episcopal Church-some further, practical advice - Peter Toon
1. Answer the question: Does The Episcopal Church believe, teach and confess that Jesus Christ is the one and only Saviour and that through and in him alone is forgiveness of sins and eternal life? [Implied here of course is that Jesus is the Son of God Incarnate and that God is a Trinity of Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.]

REFORM NO FAULT DIVORCE, SAYS MARRIAGE SAVER LEADER
* Millions choose either to not get married or to divorce.
* Some 1.5 million innocent children are born annually to unwed parents. Often Dad disappears.
* Another million children a year see their parents divorce.
* Children often lose regular access to both parents, especially their dads.
2. The law encourages divorce, because one person can file for divorce when their spouse wants to save the marriage.

That September Deadline for The Episcopal Church - Peter Toon
If the TEC House of Bishops decides to maintain the status quo then their position will raise a matter of conscience for some members of that house, together with clergy and laity. They will have to decide whether to stay within TEC or secede from it, as have not a few of their friends done in the last few years.
What guidance can be offered to such people as they face this question of conscience?

A MOST AGONIZING JOURNEY - Peter Akinola
There are continual cries for patience, listening and understanding. And yet the record shows that those who hold to the "faith once and for all delivered to the saints" have shown remarkable forbearance while their pleas have been ignored, their leaders have been demonized, and their advocates marginalized. We made a deliberate, prayerful decision in 1998 with regard to matters of Human Sexuality. It was supported by an overwhelming majority of the bishops of the Communion.
