Gillis:
As an historian, I appreciate your historical effort vis a vis the Church Society. But REC? Am an 87' grad of RES with an 81' degree from WTS and additional grad credits in classics (languages) and Roman theology (Villanova). Very leary of anything connected to the current REC leadership...across the top. Why not AOC?
Thanks, but massive trust issues with the REC. In fact, the current Bishops are a great and weighty argument against episcopacy and in favour of Presbyterianism. Leo the Capitulator? Ray the accomodator of APA? Dan, permitting Marian invocations? Roy in Houston?
An old Calvinist with an old BCP, but in exile. Re: REC big time Caveat Emptor.

Don, what is the REC? and what are the trust issues? I'm totally baffled by what was being said in that post.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know things were that bad in the REC. Marian innovations? No kidding? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the process of rolling up the old denominational map of Christendom is ongoing. Maybe people who hold onto the Reformation Solas (Fide, Scriptura, Christo, Dei Gloriam) and a Covenantal understanding of infant baptism should get together and revisit ways of cooperation and fellowship begun in the Great Awakening; and what points in the various traditions are compatible.
Seneca: it's a long, long story of betrayal and far outside the scope of a full and adequate response to your inquiry.
ReplyDeletePeter: it is a sorrow, in fact, "the sorrow" of my life that is irreversible. I have my family, my faith, my Bible, the WCF, and the old BCP. But, I do not have an Anglican home, as we once had.
Regards to both.
