March 04 2006 By virtueonline At heart of Anglican Way is freedom to say "no" - by Lou Tarsitano

These observations may represent a new point of view for some of us, but those of us who could not, for example, live with the innovation of the ordination of women faced this problem a long time ago. We continued on as Anglicans, even when expelled from the ECUSA, and there are hundreds of parishes that have come into existence in the process.

March 03 2006 By virtueonline THE ABSURDITY OF SAME SEX UNIONS - by Bp. David Onuoha

It is a long held understanding that the faith and beliefs of the Anglican Church are encapsulated and set forth in the articles of religion to which every Deacon, Priest or Bishop subscribes at ordination or consecration. Article IV states inter alia:

Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation:

So that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be

proved thereby, it is not to be required of any man ...

March 03 2006 By virtueonline STAY, LEAVE OR STAND: Two Bishops Weigh in on the Issues

If our situation is not going to be "fixed" tomorrow, why hang on? Why struggle on? Why endure? The answer has to do with the magnitude of the reformation and the scope of the transformation now underway. The answer has to do not only with the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, but with all the "mainline" churches and all of Western Christianity.

March 02 2006 By virtueonline Anglican Shame - by Hal G.P. Colebatch

The subtext behind this is that it is illegitimate for Israelis -- or, let us be frank, Jews -- to try to defend themselves from terrorism. Dr. Irene Lancaster, of the Centre for Jewish Studies at Manchester University, said the vote marked "a very black day for Anglo-Jewish relations... The writing is on the wall for the Jews of Great Britain, 350 years after they settled here."

March 01 2006 By virtueonline The Death of Orthodoxy in ECUSA?

Yes, ECUSA has had crises in the past and weathered them and despite theological and other innovations in the past there remained for the most part an orthodox presence in ECUSA. With the current crisis, however, such may not be the case when the crisis is over.

February 28 2006 By virtueonline Nigerian archbishop of bigotry? - by Les Kinsolving

One of the best responses to Chane's astoundingly perverse and unbiblical moral bearings was written before this American bishop's denunciation of the Anglican archbishop, who is leader of so many more Christians than Bishop Chane.

February 28 2006 By virtueonline ROME: Openly gay priests at odds as Christ's representatives, says Vatican

In the presence of some 170 seminarians, Msgr. James F. Checchio made a formal profession of faith and promised his fidelity to Catholic Church teaching as he took over as rector of the U.S. seminary in Rome.

In his homily, Cardinal-designate Levada reflected on the challenges priests face today and on the Sunday Scripture readings, which described God's love for his people as the love of a husband for a wife and described Jesus as the bridegroom of the church.

February 27 2006 By virtueonline The Windsor Report - not everything therein is good! - by Peter Toon

Dr Null understands that what the Commission is recommending in its Report , in order to maintain the Communion as a diversity in unity is the equivalent in Anglican terms of an authoritative teaching magisterium (the Archbishop of Canterbury and a panel of advisers, in close liaison with the Primates). Bound together by a covenant, the provinces will be also bound to accept in major matters of controversy the final ruling of the magisterium.

February 25 2006 By virtueonline Oh Ireland,"Division is Inevitable" - by Alan McCann

However, it was interesting that the liberal revisionists were concerned enough about the vote that they attempted to stop the motion being debated on procedural grounds on three occasions during the synod. So it is apparent that there are clear lines of division within the Church of Ireland on the issue of human sexuality. In September 2003 the house of Bishops issued a Pastoral Letter on Human Sexuality. The letter outlined four viewpoints held within the House of Bishops.

February 24 2006 By virtueonline "Renounce your oenophobia, Bishop Robinson"

In that spirit, you should reject the self-hatred that would let you label yourself an "alcoholic" (connoting something clinical, perhaps even "objectively disordered"). Rather, you ought to accept yourself as a "lush" (connoting what is verdant and bountiful).
