Pure Men and Women Too: A Lenten Poem
Pure men, and women too, all of the world unspotted, That they might reach the heights to holy saints allotted, That they might fortify the heart against life's stress, Composed such prayers as still comfort us and bless. But none has ever stirred in me such deep emotions As that the priest recites at Lententide …
The Real Meaning of Affirming Catholicism
In our last three posts on the different parts of Anglicanism, we've looked first at Anglo-Catholicism, then Evangelicalism, and after that the Charismatic renewal. Now we turn our attention to a group of people who seem to have influence well out of proportion to their numbers, or for that matter to the substance of their …

Waiting for the Cops to Show Up
The drama that is taking place this week behind closed doors in Tanzania has created a real guessing game in the Anglican Communion. While we wait for the results--assuming there are meaningful results--let's think for a moment about an obvious question: how has liberal "Christianity" held on as long as it has? Everyone knows that …
Charismatic Anglicans: The Missing Link
When many people hear of the Charismatic Renewal, they roll their eyes and pray that the conversation goes another way. It is amazing that a movement that had such a wide impact in its day is not only forgotten but gleefully so. There are a few holdouts out there--the Charismatic Episcopal Church is the main …
Rudy Giuliani and the Dilemma of Christian Conservatives
It's no real surpise that Rudy Giuliani is running for President. The surprise comes in how well he does in polls of Republicans. The apparent attempt of the party's higher echelons to "crown" John McCain early and avoid a hard primary/caucus season is not going as well as planned. What your opinion of this depends …

Anglican Evangelicalism: The Limitations of Augustinian Theology
In a previous post, we discussed the problems of Anglo-Catholics in their walk to Rome. We've spent a fair amount of time on that; now let's look at the weakness of the other branch of orthodox Anglicanism, the evangelical wing. Our contention is that Evangelical Anglicans need to take a hard look at their adherence …

Just for Procreation: It Wasn’t Our Idea to Start With
We cannot resist saying something about Washington state's "Defence of Marriage Alliance" and their petition to require hetrosexual couples to have children within three years after marriage or be subject to annulment. To start with, we never based our opposition to gay marriage solely on the ability of heterosexual couples to procreate. Our idea of …
