October 21 2006 By virtueonline Perhaps we cannot be friends - by K. Brewster Hastings

The friendship based on enjoyment is involves more affiliation. The basis for the association is because the two people enjoy each other's company. They are a pleasure to be around. You might have a neighbor you find pleasing to be around near not because he lends you tools (he may) but because you like his personality or agree with his politics or share his worldview.

October 20 2006 By virtueonline A Lack of Confidence - by Charles Jenkins

In response, I confidently point to the good work of the Church in Mississippi and Louisiana and note that if we do not stand for the poor, no one will. If the Church does not raise a cry for justice, no one will. If the Church does not continue to feed the poor, house the homeless, heal the sick and give hope where it has been washed away, no one will. I think our efforts in Louisiana are exemplary as are those good works done in Christ's name in Mississippi.

October 16 2006 By virtueonline Evangelism Plus: John Stott reflects on where we've been and where we're going

As you see it, what is evangelicalism, and why does it matter? An evangelical is a plain, ordinary Christian. We stand in the mainstream of historic, orthodox, biblical Christianity. So we can recite the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed without crossing our fingers. We believe in God the Father and in Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit. Having said that, there are two particular things we like to emphasize: the concern for authority on the one hand and salvation on the other.

October 16 2006 By virtueonline Archbishop Yong Ping Chung answers Dean Colin Slee's critique of Kigali

The second point is about representation. Those who went to Kigali were either the Archbishops from the Global South or representatives of the primates. The Archbishops from the Global South have all emerged from various processes of election, not like the bishops and archbishops in the English Church by appointment. They do represent their people. They are sensitive to their constituency. When they go out, they are not going out to represent themselves. They represent their Province.

October 14 2006 By virtueonline TWO PRIMATES BLAST PANEL OF REFERENCE REPORT AS INADEQUATE

It is unrealistic and most unwise to send Biblically committed clergy and congregations back to a synod and bishop who have so tragically abandoned the foundations of the faith. These faithful clergy and people need the jurisdiction of a bishop who is fully committed to Biblical faith and Anglican tradition and practice.

October 11 2006 By virtueonline The Seven Tenths of One Per Cent Solution - by Gary L'Hommedieu

I don't want to argue the merits of the Millennium Goals. I would say that these goals, and others like them, are worthy of Christian concern and response. Leave it to later discussions to determine who exactly gets the .7 percent of our dollars, whether it goes to direct relief, or to some U.N. agency or bureaucracy, along with a whole host of other practical questions.

October 11 2006 By virtueonline Disunited Anglican Email Discussion Groups on Yahoo

What I did not want to find, in addition to obviously associated groups that seemed liberal catholic (not my interest), was a preponderance of groups of Anglicans involved in the lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transsexual way of life. There were many groups having the letters “LBGT”. I did not examine to see which might have been healing ministries, if any.

October 10 2006 By virtueonline Mystery, Marriage, and Two Dads - by George Naff Gray

I began my sermon with Jesus' answer to the question: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" "For your hardness of heart Mosses wrote for you a certificate of divorce. But from the beginning of creation, God created them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh.

October 10 2006 By virtueonline What you are not meant to know - by Lisa Severine Nolland

For risk it is now in the UK in public - and that is key, for no one cares what primitive, retrograde opinions people privately have, for those who hold such opinions are a dying breed and will soon pose no threat. Those who dare publicly challenge the regime are muzzled with state-sanctioned intimidation and threats of being prosecuted by the police - serving to deter any who might venture to do likewise.
