Episcopal Church Abandons Bishop and Diocese
The Other Side of the Story, from the Diocese of South Carolina
For that reason, we have disassociated ourselves from the Episcopal Church and will meet again in Convention on November 17th to consider further responses to these actions by the denomination we helped found. By God's grace, we look forward to many more generations freely exercising the faith first brought to these shores so many generations before us.
A Lethal Difference of Attitude
Warfield…signs the Westminster Standards…because he sees them as simply summarizing what the Bible teaches.
I wonder: do good churches go bad because they appoint closet liberals to the ministry? Or do they go bad because they appoint good people to the ministry who do not understand the nature and importance of confessional subscription and who will therefore, wittingly or unwittingly, help to water down the very mechanisms established by the church to preserve the gospel for the next generation?
Do Faithful Christians Take the Bible Literally?
"I am the gate for the sheep . . ." Do we think that Jesus is literally a gate, an agricultural device?
The great Francis Schaeffer gave us a nice example on this important point. A fearless, tireless, and brilliant defender of biblical inerrancy, he said the faithful hold a "full" or "strong, uncompromising view of Scripture." He never said "literal view" because to say so is literally not true.
The Book of Common Prayer at three hundred and fifty.
Thomas Cranmer’s phrases echo through English literature and popular culture.
Only when Henry was succeeded by Edward VI, in 1547, could the reform that Cranmer wanted truly proceed. Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer was revised in 1552, three years after its publication, in order to intensify the Protestantism of its theology. Ecclesiastical committees had worked on the revision, and this version became the established collective liturgy of the Church of England for the next four hundred and sixty years
A final goodbye with an eye on the future
My colleagues at GetReligion have helped me immensely in understanding how to cover religion more thoroughly.
In the coming years, who knows what medium we’ll be in reporting in, as the newspaper, magazine and broadcast models have been merged and diverged, mixed and matched to try to make magic on the internet. It feels like a Buzz Lightyear moment: "To infinity and beyond!" or something like that.
Raising super-Christians
It seems that over-praising and telling kids how “special” they are oddly puts pressure on children to fulfill impossible expectations.
I wonder what would happen if America had a culture that simply taught children that doing something big for God and His Kingdom is nothing more and nothing less than loving God and neighbor.
Eight Terrible Church Visits as reported by the unchurched
In each of these cases, the mystery church guests assured me that the visit was so bad and so uncomfortable that they would never return
"Someone told me I was sitting where their family sits. That really ticked me off. I didn't see a reserved sign there. If I was not getting paid to do this, I would have said a few words to them and walked out of the service before it ever began."
State-by-state advocacy of U.S. religious liberty launches
"I believe that all Americans cherish our right to exercise religion freely and want to protect that right as much as possible."
Each caucus will consist of lawmakers who come together to discuss various public policy issues pertaining to freedom of religion both in their state and throughout the country
“Becoming Calvin” – a new play by Ann Timmons
New play tells Calvin’s story
Young people today too are searching for some sense of purpose to which they can apply their gifts. They too can be tempted to avoid great conflicts that threaten their personal peace. But often they will find God’s will, and their own purpose, only as they engage the conflicts. They must be prepared to pay a price, as Calvin did, in leaving the places that are comfortable to them and sometimes being parted from dear friends who go in different directions.
