October 12 2005 By virtueonline RECIFE: "Attacks are dispossessing people of their Anglican identity"

Recife is famous for its Bishops.

The Roman Catholic Bishop Dom Helder Camara of Recife was known throughout the world for inspiring Christians to love and serve poor people. Now the Anglican Bishop of Recife, Dom Robinson Cavalcanti is well known throughout the world for being faithful to the Biblical teaching in the face of unjust harassment.

October 11 2005 By virtueonline A JOURNEY TO A FAR COUNTRY - by Robert Tong

Let me make a few travelogue remarks before I address the topic. I was asked about some high points of my time away. The Whispering Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral is a long way up. Likewise, climbing between the thousand year old oak beams in the roof in Salisbury Cathedral is a long way up.

October 10 2005 By virtueonline FLORIDA: Fleeing Rector writes letters to St. John's and St. Peter's

I have arrived at a place where I do not feel comfortable using Episcopal literature, sending youth and college students to Episcopal conferences (even in the Diocese of Florida), or affirming my vows as a priest (to the "Doctrine, Discipline, and Worship of the Episcopal Church").

October 10 2005 By virtueonline ECUSA House of Bishops, Adding Insult to Injury - by Bill Atwood

To hijack the sacrifices previous generations made to erect Gospel serving buildings and divert those resources for the vapid and spiritually bankrupt message of uncritical "acceptance," may sound good to them, but it squanders the opportunity for redemptive change offered by the Cross. It forfeits the chance to become more like Jesus and know His peace. Picking and choosing which parts of our heritage to preserve is selective responsibility and it is reprehensible.

October 10 2005 By virtueonline True Justice: Halting the Push for Gay Marriage

As Christians seeking to be compassionate, and relevant to the market place, our mouths have nearly been shut. Our sin is not that of the raving fundamentalist; it is the sin of passive, naïve centrism. For this we must repent. For too long we have not exercised our rightful inheritance. As Christians, we hold the keys to what constitutes the Designer's vision for humanity, and His repair for the broken image. We must find our voices today.

October 10 2005 By virtueonline CAUSE WHORES - by Christopher S. Johnson

Those were also the days when people on the left would do somersaults to persuade clergy--any ecclesiastic, really, to say nothing of someone high in the Episcopal hierarchy--to bring the imprimatur of God to the cause, rather like the politicized God of the American right today. But we never hoped that these prelates would levitate the crowd. About religion and politics, we were cynical, or, let us say, instrumental.

October 06 2005 By virtueonline Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion (1571) - how boring!

The Church of England has retained these Formularies to this day (2005) but the Episcopal Church rejected them as worship and doctrine standards by majority votes in General Convention in 1976 and then again in 1979. Since then the Articles have been treated as a museum piece without any authority in America. They have been effectively replaced by the radically liberal "Outline of the Faith" printed inside the 1979 Prayer Book of the Episcopal Church.

I certainly don't know if fallen homosexuals are more inclined to be unchaste than fallen heterosexuals. "The key point seems to be that homosexuals possess 'a serious personality disorder which detracts from their ability to serve as ministers.'
