July 26 2019 By virtueonline The State of Biblical Orthodoxy in the Anglican Church of Canada

The last 50 years have seen new challenges to the Christian faith in the wake of massive cultural and intellectual changes connected to abortion, the sexual revolution, the LGBTQ+ movement, and very recently, the transgender juggernaut.
