October 19 2005 By virtueonline CONNECTICUT: Hansen to Bishop: "I won't meet with you, Canon 10 not applicable"

You also request that I meet with you to discuss my denial "in compliance with the expectations of Canon 10."

I have reviewed Canon 10 and see no requirement of a meeting following your receipt of my denial of the charge. Canon 10 requires you to withdraw the notice of inhibition upon receipt of my good faith denial.

October 19 2005 By virtueonline Analysis of the Diocese of Pittburgh/Calvary Church Lawsuit Settlement

The second paragraph just says everyone agreed to mediate before going to court if Calvary or any other church that wants to leave the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Not a big deal. It is all window dressing, because the process is voluntary, litigation is available.

Paragraph 3 lets Calvary withdraw from the ACN. No big loss.

Paragraph 4 changes nothing. As I noted earlier, "The resolution had no effect vis-a-vis the Dennis Canon anyway, so this was a gimme."

October 16 2005 By virtueonline How long? - A call to honesty for the Episcopal Church U.S.A.

Those who hold to this persuasion are committed to the belief that this is a genuine work of the Holy Spirit, a progression of Godly revelation, regarding social justice, love, and dignity for the disenfranchised. This view seeks to uphold the great Christian virtues of charity and justice.

October 14 2005 By virtueonline The Lectures of Archbishop Robin Eames: A Critique and evaluation

The Archbishop's central message was straightforward. The Anglican Communion is in crisis. He spent considerable time describing the historical and cultural origins of this crisis. To summarize, the Anglican Communion was once held together by "bonds of affection." These bonds were sufficient when there was "agreement on fundamental principles" (VTS).

October 13 2005 By virtueonline The Splintering Episcopal Church - by Mike McManus

However, the issue is far deeper and wider. "What I've seen is a growing disparagement and undermining of Holy Scripture and the unique person of Jesus," says Dudley. "In the Episcopal Church at many levels - bishops, priests, seminary professors - Scripture is no longer the foundation for ethical decision-making. They believe God is teaching a 'new truth,' that replaces the old truth of Scripture.

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.
