Andy Sullivan, Guardian, UK: Church Wars on Sodomy Coming to End

A marginal Westerner, a British writer of curious attainments, Andrew Brown of the Guardian, apparently a theological liberal, predicts the end of the Church of England's loss of a posture on sodomitic-marriage.  That might be so.  Largely, the C o E has lost on the issue of theologial liberalism...although the 1662 BCP and the Thirty-nine Articles remain the law of England.  But, back on issue

Predestination, 39 Articles, and Anglicans

Regrettably, this issue needs to be raised, although it has been long established.  Predestination is, put simply,  Biblical. Denial thereof is obstinacy and pride, put simply.  While there are many other doctrinal loci that cannot be obscured by this, yet, it must be taught.

TEC Bishop Notes TEC-Seminary Graduates Deficient Intellectually (No Kidding!)

We are not surprised in the least by AZ's TEC Bishop lamenting the poor intellectual and leadership equipment and skills from/for TEC seminary graduates. No surprises there.

This is Rev. Dr. Alan McCann's review of a recent and rather tidy-sounding conference on the issue of homosexuality, as sponsored by the Church in Ireland. McCann, if representative, summarized the affair this way:  "Tokenism towards the authority of Scripture was the order of the day."  At one point, he says:   "There is no middle ground."  Dr. McCann hears an American Anglican's echo, "Don't

The Urban Pastor, a Church of England cleric, brings a few notes about the situation in the Church of England.  We do endorse the idea that old Prayer Book Churchmanship puts a clamp on enthusiasts, fanatics and wild-eyed revivalists so common to the United States.  See:  http://theurbanpastor.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/economical-with-the-truth/.  Here's Urban Pastor:
