Why We Left
Posted by tom | Jan 15, 2007Here's an articulate piece printed in the Washington Post regarding Why We Left the Episcopal Church. The authors Rev. John Yates, the rector, and Os Guinness, a parishioner, of The Falls Church, are well known Anglican Evangelicals -- thank-you to Kevin for forwarding the article.
John and Os start by pointing out Episcopal revisionism abandons the fidelity of faith. The Hebrew scriptures link matters of truth to a relationship with God. They speak of apostasy as adultery -- a form of betrayal as treacherous as a husband cheating on his wife.
Today take some time to pray for the People of God to receive discernment as they seek to follow the teachings/life of Jesus here and now on January 15, 2007. Part of our family's devotional time will include a consideration of Martin Luther King Jr's I have a dream speech. Lord come quickly, bring your kingdom in fullness for the purity of the Church and the full redemption of your creation to the praise of your Glory!
