Stott neither sought nor asked for ecclesiastical fame or power; the key to the success of his ministry was to humbly come under the Word of God, not plaster his ideas and views over the Word of God. He turned down a bishopric and the few honors that came his way were well earned and richly deserved. He never played them up. He was known to his friends simply as "Uncle John". One rarely saw him in a dog collar.

"There is a huge risk that Donald Trump might be reelected if the normal means of voting including in person, by mail or email, as it could result in election fraud," said Curry, the Episcopal Church's first black Presiding Bishop. "We can't have 'beloved community' infected and destroyed by the Orange Man."

The American Episcopal Church has defied God to his face on human sexuality, denying fundamentally the binary relationship of a man and a woman. In doing so, they have promoted a new religion.

Theologian Gerry McDermott put it concisely when he said, "Progressives who embrace gay marriage worship another Jesus, a different gospel, and proclaim another Spirit (2 Cor 11.4). These are not two ways of being Christian; they are two religions worshipping different gods."

July 28 2020 By dvirtue Egyptian Archbishop Reflects on The Ecclesiastical Conflict Between Anglicans and the Protestant Church in Egypt

ANIS: I would say it is getting better. The majority of Middle Eastern people, Christians and Muslims, can't tolerate exclusion and discrimination. The best example is the revolution of the Egyptians on the 30th of June 2013, when the people rejected the Muslim Brotherhood ruling which discriminated against the moderate Muslims and Christians. The same is happening now in Tunisia, Libya and Sudan. I would say that we are moving towards inclusive citizenship, but it is not an easy road.

July 24 2020 By dvirtue PROMINENT POLITICAL HOMOSEXUAL EPISCOPALIAN PUFFS HIS FAITH TO EPISCOPAL LEADERS

While mixing faith and politics is not new, (evangelicals began this with Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority), the unholy mix of revisionist theology and liberal politics publicly displayed by Buttigieg cast a deep pall over evangelicals and conservative Catholics, indicating to them just how far cultural Marxism has taken hold of the American imagination.

July 20 2020 By dvirtue ACNA ARCHBISHOP SAYS AMERICA HAS REMOVED ETHICAL, MORAL AND SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS

The archbishop pointed to the prophet Jeremiah, when the nations of Israel and Judah were having their problems. "The people were neglecting God; abandoning God's commandments; and doing things God considered abominable -- in summary, Jeremiah's people had no Fear of God. Given this situation, God says, in Jeremiah 5:29, "'Shall I not punish them for these things?' declares the LORD, 'and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?'".

July 19 2020 By dvirtue J. I. Packer, Author, Preacher and Teacher has Died at 93

In my interview with JIP, I asked him what his favorite book was. He said A Quest for Godliness. "It expresses so much of the Puritan understanding of Christian spirituality which has been an enormous inspiration to me since I first discovered the writings of John Owen in 1946."

Packer believed that the most important project of his life was the English Standard Version of the Bible.

July 16 2020 By dvirtue FORMER CENTRAL FLORIDA BISHOP LEAVES TEC JOINS ACNA

The scriptures and the whole catholic and Anglican tradition have understood Christian marriage to be a union of a man and a woman in Christ. The Episcopal Church has always said that The Book of Common Prayer is the authority for our doctrine, discipline and worship.

The very first sentence "Concerning the Service" of the Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage says, "Christian marriage is a solemn and public covenant between a man and a woman in the presence of God."

July 16 2020 By dvirtue THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH HUSTLE

It was a defining moment for TEC. The Episcopal Church has never fully recovered from this exodus and never will. Year after year, the figures show a church in decline, as dioceses juncture, parishes close, parishioners vanished and more and more parishes are held together with non-stipendiary priests. Elevating women to the priesthood and episcopacy has not slowed down the process; it may even have accelerated it.

July 14 2020 By dvirtue WHEN CHURCHES TAKE GOVERNMENT MONEY

Then COVID-19 hit and became a game changer for the Church's very survival.

Congress designated $349 billion for the PPP in a $2 trillion relief package approved in late March in response to the economic fallout from the pandemic and followed with another $310 billion in late April when the earlier funds were depleted.
