1. World-wide Anglicanism is in disorder, no thanks to the West, the Brits, the US, and the Canadians...we in the West are in a Babylonian Captivity. Western speakers are disadvantaged by presupposition.
2. We get a different read and sense from the Africans, Far Easterners and South Americans. They actually believe God's Word...wow, a difference compared to the Westerners. They actually believe the Creeds in the MP, EP, Holy Communion and the Quinquevult. Can we trust the Westerners, including the ACNA? We do not think so. The Western ACNA Bishops have been trusted in institutions of unbelief.
3. We get no info from our favourite windbag and journalistic advocate for ACNA...whala, for the windbag....David Virtue at Virtue at http://www.virtueonlineline.org/. We like David, but he is a windbag who covers up stories as a journalist.
4. 1 Samuel and the context of the rise of David and the fall of Saul. (1 Samuel 16-31). David was anointed a king (16.1-13) while a distressing spirit disturbs Saul (16.14-23). David is handsome, valourous and prudent. In 1 Samuel 17, he is willing to withstand Goliath.
5. Do we have modern Davids? Or shrinking violets? We look in vain and see "sell-outs."
Eternal God, give us faith and strength like King David of old. Without Thy perpetual mercy, David would have wilted like a flower. Without Thy perpetual mercies as we have prayed in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Sundays, Thou didst give David faith and victory. Give us the same faith as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samuel and David, that Thy Church may persevere in Thy truth, through Christ, Amen.
