He doesn't deny his actions, but affirms that he was acting on behalf of these primates at their request. TEC, however, maintains that she owns the franchise rights-even over Anglican churches that are not part of the U.S. province. When overseas primates have come personally to do confirmations and ordinations, TEC has complained but taken no action.

March 31 2007 By virtueonline ALBANY: Bishop Herzog Writes letter of Resignation to Bishop Love

There is a sense of joyful contentment in being in union with the office of Peter and the universal church. There is also an element of sadness at losing a special connection with the devoted clergy and outstanding lay leaders serving Christ in the Episcopal Diocese of Albany, and the Anglican Communion

March 29 2007 By virtueonline The Pastoral Council and the Primatial Vicar - Christopher Seitz

In addition, a kind of bridge was built back to the Presiding Bishop by utilization of the 'Primatial Vicar' language, now as an ingredient in a five member Pastoral Council scheme.

Now, in what is absolutely stupendous hypocrisy, the Episcopal House of Bishops - which has just announced its intention to defy the rest of the 77-million Anglican Communion by supporting consecration of a self-announced sodomist bishop - is preparing to bring to ecclesiastical trial - and possible deposition (unfrocking) - a retired Episcopal bishop in Topeka, Kansas.

Can you imagine subjecting an 86-year old bishop to an ecclesiastical trial and possible unfrocking?

March 27 2007 By virtueonline The Episcopal Church's Departure From The Faith - by C. FitzSimons Allison

This is in stark contrast to the utter failure to hold anyone responsible who is grievously distorting the Christian faith or blatantly denying their confirmation and consecration oaths. This irresponsibility dates from the time of James Pike (Bishop of California, 1955-66) when he denied the church's teaching regarding the Incarnation and Trinity.

March 25 2007 By virtueonline TWO PLUS TWO IS FIVE: The New Orthodoxy of TEC - by J Gary L'Hommedieu

Such creatures "see at the same time both above and below the surface of the water, and their brains figure out how to interpret those quite different images and make a coherent whole." One assumes she holds these to be higher evolutionary forms than their unlucky human cousins who can't "make a coherent whole" out of parts that don't naturally, or logically, go together.

March 25 2007 By virtueonline The other side of slave trade - Akinpelu Johnson

Many people have come to see the slave trade as inhuman and an act that made Africans backward. That opinion can be justified particularly when we understand from the various accounts of the trade that the Atlantic Slave Trade was a most brutal form of slavery. Yet, on a day such as this, perhaps I will be forgiven for being subjective when I suggest that to me and for my family, slavery was a blessing in disguise.

March 25 2007 By virtueonline The March Communique of the House of Bishops:Some surprising, wider implications

One wonders why? Must we wait until September to once again hear the Bishops cite the same argument, that the Primates' request concerning same sex blessings, ordinations of practicing homosexual persons, and consecrations to the Episcopate, violates the independence of TEC? Or, will the ploy be: "But they didn't ask us to stop these from going on, just not to authorize them. We are already in compliance"? Delay follows delay.

March 24 2007 By virtueonline Future Looks Bleak for Orthodox in The Episcopal Church - David Anderson

Instead he stuck his finger in the eye of the POR and told them to stop meddling in his affairs. So much for the authority and power of the POR. It reminds me of the unarmed British Bobby who orders the armed bank robber to stop and surrender. At least in Florida, this doesn't work. What does this say about the hopes for letting TEC stay in the worldwide Anglican Communion?

March 23 2007 By virtueonline "We Need to say Who we are" - Bishop of the Rio Grande

The words that seemed to recur most often in our discussions were: "We need to say who we are." The majority believed that the Primates misunderstood the democratic nature of the Episcopal Church and that they were trying to impose on us a hierarchical structure from outside that was contrary to our polity. Three resolutions were passed:
