This excellent piece by the Ven. Canon Justin Murff lays it out: This June, the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America will meet at St. Vincents College in Latrobe, PA from June 20 - June 23 to hold a Conclave to elect the next Archbishop of the ACNA. Many in the …
Fenestrae de Allegoriae: Allegory As A Window to Reality–The North American Anglican
https://northamanglican.com/fenestrae-de-allegoriae-allegory-as-a-window-to-reality/ This very elegant piece (written by a guy from Arkansas, something I understand well) underscores an unpopular but ultimately unavoidable reality we need to face: without recovering at least the Patristic idea of Biblical interpretation, we're going to be in serious trouble. I'm not sure this is adding to what he says but it's …
Feeling the Pain and Answering the Question About Roman Catholicism
There are times in life when some of the buried past comes up, and last week was one of them. Last Thursday, we said goodbye to the matriarch of the family that lead the Catholic Charismatic prayer group I was a part of in the late 1970's and early 1980's. We've stayed connected with the …

Appeal to Novelty–The Logical Place
https://yandoo.wordpress.com/2024/05/11/appeal-to-novelty/ Probably the most egregious use of this fallacy in recent times was in selling the public on the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. These had not been tried on such a wide scale, and doing so was, IMHO, scientifically irresponsible. At the time I was suspicious of this and stuck with a more traditional adenovirus …
The EU is turning into a Remainer nightmare–Unherd
Things are not going well on the Continent: For years they’ve been painting Brussels as a beacon of progressivism, peace and democracy, as opposed to the far-Right, racist and economically suicidal project of Brexit. Yet, ironically, it is the European Parliament, not the British one, that is about to swing firmly to the Right, as several …

My Mother the Exvangelical
These days the exvangelicals get a great deal of attention, both from those who are glad they're "ex-", those who aren't, and those who aren't sure there is an "ex-" from Evangelicalism. I fall into the last group, and a big reason for that was my own mother. Since next Sunday is Mother's Day, it's …

My Response to “Embracing the Evangelism Opportunity as a General Department…..Again! Let’s Talk About It – Part One”
I was heartened to see Tim Hill's piece (reproduced by ourCOG) on this topic. As many of you know, I worked in the Department of Lay Ministries from 1996 to 2010, which came out of the Department of Evangelism and Home Missions in the early 1990's (something that Tim Hill mentions.) What many of you …
The scandals haunting Pope Francis–unHerd
The cardinals are already meeting to discuss who should be the next pope. Some of the liberal ones, who feel safe because they’re in favour with the ailing Pope Francis, can be seen comparing notes in a bar near the gates of the Vatican. The conservative cardinals are more nervous: they gather at suppers in …

https://ourcog.wordpress.com/2024/04/16/textual-variants-and-isopsephy-in-the-new-testament-by-randy-nettles-ourcog After my post yesterday Why I’m Not Sold on Modern Biblical Scholarship/Criticism ourCOG posted this interesting treatment on the New Testament manuscripts, their variants and the significance (or lack thereof) of those variants. There's no question that the Bible--Old and New Testaments--is the best attested book to come out of classical antiquity, a point …
