It is time for Anglican clergy to return to the Bible and the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion.
One of my readers,
undergroundpewster, rightly applauds two retired bishops of South Carolina who recall what Christ came to accomplish.
The first is retired Bishop Duvall who said:
As I stand there with my head hung low facing the judgement seat of God, ready for my sentence, I feel an arm around my shoulders, the arm of Jesus, who says ‘This one’s with me’.
The second is the
Right Revd C FitzSimons Allison who wrote against postmodern false teachers in 2011:
Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan are two remarkably popular theologians who teach a version of Christianity that reduces the Christian faith to contemporary secular assumptions. For Crossan, Jesus was an illiterate Jewish cynic. No Incarnation no Resurrection. The Easter story is “fictional mythology” (p. 161, Jesus a Revolutionary Biography). Borg claims that Jesus was only divine in the sense that Martin Luther King and Gandhi were divine. Borg dismisses the creeds (p.10, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time) Jesus was a “spirit person,” “a mediator of the sacred,” “a shaman,” one of those persons like Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, et al. (p. 32)

Even the word Revolutionary in the title there makes a book sound exciting whereas it is nothing but the loss of the glory of Christ.
