Why are we getting thrown out of the Anglican Communion? - by Peter Manzo
Dare we, as Christians, think outside that box? Could it be that that feeling of same sex attraction is NOT the revelation of one's identity, but a symptom of something deeper, something that needs healing?
The Word of God written enables us to think outside the box of our culture! The Word of God tells us that people can be healed in Christ.

The effect of civil partnerships - by Andrew Carey
Our capacity for self-deception in the Church is unrivalled. To avoid the appearance of a breakdown of unity we are prepared to jump through contrived hoops that would give an accomplished gymnast severe backache.

Anglican Christianity - For Consideration by the Bishops of the Episcopal Church
Before answering this question, one must be able to describe accurately the situation in which we find ourselves under God. The fracturing, misrepresentation, and conflicted character of our church and Communion that the ACC meeting constitutes in its very form has been long in coming, and is the result of an ingrained set of failures in discernment, discipline, and order that implicates all leaders of our Anglican churches.

DROPPING THE MASK - by Christopher S. Johnson
JOHNSON: Paranoia straight out of the gate. I still haven't read a plausible explanation why anybody would want to spend large sums of money to destroy a church that is destroying itself quite effectively. Irish admits that ECUSA has taken a hit.

The Theology of Heresy in the Diocese Central New York
The recent history we mostly know, because we have been living it for the last two years. Lately the entire world wide Anglican Communion has been racked by wars over the new bishop of New Hampshire who is living with his homosexual lover. Also by vote of the 2003 General Convention, each diocese can now decide whether it wants to bless homosexual unions. Some bishops, like the new bishop of Florida, are saying that all is well, but events speak differently.

IN SPITE OF EVERTHING, THERE IS REASON FOR OPTIMISM
Mr. Bradberry seems to be endorsing a new, albeit schismatic direction for ECUSA. Faith may not be defined by the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), the Archbishop of Canterbury (ABC) or the Primates, but the Communion is!
First, Mr. Bradberry should be aware the group of Primates he references not only represents a clear majority of Anglican Archbishops and Presiding Bishops, but at least five-sevenths of the Communion itself.

Fleeing the Madhouse - by Al Kimel
Whatever the cost, no matter how many members are driven away, no matter how many congregations may be forced to close, no matter how many faithful priests are compelled by conscience to renounce their orders, no matter how many canon laws must be twisted and abused to rid the church of clerical dissenters, the revolution must succeed.

On Representing the Episcopal Church - by Ephraim Radner
In June, when the ACC convenes in Nottingham (England), this explanation will apparently be offered by a group of delegates authorized by the Executive Council to provide it on ECUSA's behalf. What is it that this group of ECUSA "representatives" can logically say to the ACC, given the invitation and given the understandings and orderings of life that were already legitimately and publicly in place on the matter of sexuality before the 2003 General Convention?

"Life boats not launched in a timely manner need not be sent." - by David Anderson
Crucial to the progress seen at the Dromantine Primates meeting are the chairing and membership of the Panel and its scope of work and rules of engagement. In today's highly charged atmosphere, there is really only one chance to get it right.

"What is right & fair?" - by Miguel Uchoa
Anglicanism, as a part of the world wide church was, and is strongly affected by each of these events... But probably nothing has affected Anglicanism in the last 3 decades more then liberalism
Brazilian Perspective
It is important to say that Brazilian Anglicanism was born as a daughter church of the ECUSA. Two graduate students from Virginia Theological seminary came to Brazil as missionaries. And in 1898 the church was established.
