Background: Theological Assumptions and Recent History Like many people in the Anglican Communion, when I first read the Windsor Report with its recommendation of a covenant and its draft of a possible covenant in an appendix, initially I had strong reservations about the idea of a covenant for the Anglican Communion. These reservations derived both from my legal education and from my training as a New Testament theologian.

March 26 2007 By virtueonline The Primates' Communique and Hermeneutics - by Robert Sanders

What is the agenda behind this paragraph? If the agenda is to continue the dialogue between revisionists and orthodox, the "worldwide study" is another step in the subversion of the Anglican Communion.

March 05 2007 By virtueonline How Bad Is Homosexual Practice According to Scripture - Robert Gagnon

The response is not surprising. Having published Winter's lengthy (32-page!) attack piece against evangelicals, the Stated Clerk Clifton Kirkpatrick and the Office of General Assembly (which puts out Perspectives) were not about to allow a point-by-point refutation of all or any part of Winter's article. This is clear enough in the Stated Clerk's correspondence with the author of the two-part response, Rev. Winfield Casey Jones, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Pearland, Texas.

February 07 2007 By virtueonline The Economy of God - by Evan Sparks

Truro was founded in 1732, The Falls Church only two years later. They have been part of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican affiliate in the United States, since its founding. In the mid–eighteenth century, George Washington served on the vestry at The Falls Church. Despite these strong ties, the surprise here is not that they have left their ecclesiastical home, but that they stayed so long.
