@MBurtwrites That is why those given that responsibility in our present day, our bishops, are committing a grievous sin when they neglect their responsibilities as bishop. They are making a mockery of the trust put in them. We are all sinners, but I respect those who resigned when confronted.
English
@MBurtwrites The apostolic succession is to protect the deposit of faith passed down from the main eyewitnesses and disciples of Jesus, His apostles. It’s also supposed to protect His church from the destructiveness of teaching by those who have not been vetted to be entrusted with it.
English
This week ppl doubled-down that the Eucharist stands or falls on wheat in bread. Now Holy Orders rely upon our ability to lay hands on ppl in the right way?
Is Jesus alive & active or not? Does the Spirit do as He wills or not?
Is “true Church” limited by religious forms? +
Reformed*_Anglican ⚓️@ViaMediaVoice
Anglicanism stands or falls on apostolic succession. If we have it, we are true Church with valid orders, without it, we are not.

@AltarVision1 Which parishes have threatened to leave? I’ve seen this stated as fact, but the names of the parishes are omitted.
English
The ACNA already has enough destabilizing stuff going on. We don’t need to set precedent/create a new norm where factions negotiate by brinkmanship rather than by canonical process.
Once you reward a threat, you guarantee more threats.

DWGC News: Progressive parishes in @the_ACNA "threaten to LEAVE" if their candidate, Fr Russell Martin, isn't made bishop. A social worker from California, he vaunts his "feminist" mother, an Episcopal priest. Pressed on the DWGC's stance against female priests, he equivocates.
English
@AltarVision1 I remember a great deal of orthodox uniformity being required as the ACNA formed. Were you part of Anglicanism in the U.S. at that time?
English
The ACNA’s founding coalition was never ideologically uniform. Duncan et al assembled something that was intentionally big tent.
WO is a structural inheritance which, now that the ACNA is past its birth pangs, requires principled re‑examination.
David Rowe@mrdavidrowe
@AndrewForFaith @AnglicanReform One of the reasons I think you're going to struggle getting traction (esp with bishops) is the way you're framing this: that the ACNA was founded as some kind of 'pure' jurisdiction, which has since been entered by 'wolves' slipping in and espousing 'progressive modernism'.
English
@monkofjustice @Canadian_Matt Or didn’t attend an Anglican seminary?
English
@Canadian_Matt III.6.4 also allows reauthorization of a resigned cleric without reordination. Someone in purple didn't talk to a (competent) chancellor or pay attention at seminary!
English
@DOMA_Misconduct @kristenmcknight @The_ACNA @DioceseWGC Is the candidate speaking in the video Fr. Martin? And is there a longer video of this Q and A available online?
English
I've seen enough.
Progressive parishes in @the_ACNA are moving to "flip" @DioceseWGC, "threatening to leave" if their candidate isn't elected bishop.
On women priests (not ordained there), he waffles:
"I'm not settled on that."
"I'm open."
"My mom was an Episcopal priest."

DWGC Update: A member of the Episcopal Nominations Team confirms parishes are "threatening to leave" over women's right to preach at Eucharistic services. The threats reportedly came after the original candidate, Fr Sharpe, indicated he wouldn't support the practice. @the_ACNA

@jmasseypoet I am sad to read this, and pray His peace will surround you as you mourn.

My father passed away yesterday after a long and hard-fought battle with liver cancer. Thank you all for your prayers over the last few years. Here he is with Jarvis when he visited me two Octobers ago.

@American_Johnny @wandlearner @mugjudge Who is coming for you? Honest question. I read most everything offered up in public-facing Anglican discussions, and I don’t see anyone initiating pro-WO discourse. Is this happening to you privately?
English
@wandlearner @mugjudge I know all about how the ACNA came to be, I just refuse to tolerate heterodoxy. I don't care if it's in the by-laws that scripture & tradition are optional, if they wanna come for us then we should come for them. We have to evangelize our own province.
English
Sad but true... What was the point of starting the ACNA at all? Where are orthodox Anglicans supposed to go? Don't say the Continuum unless you're gonna build a parish within 2 hours of my house. It's time we get serious & make a plan to remove the heterodox once & for all.
English
@vagentleman2 @SwannHnesce @AndrewForFaith The province agreed that we could live together with differing views on this subject. When that seems intolerable, it’s logical to think you might be more content in another province that believes as you do. No one’s asking you to leave.
English
@SwannHnesce @AnneKGray @AndrewForFaith I was simply suggesting that if being against WO was such an important issue to him, he might be happier in one of the other Anglican groups that severely restrict women's roles. No lack of charity was intended.
English
Women’s ordination advocates will not stop until they have alienated every single last orthodox Priest, Bishop, and layperson from the church. They will cry saying they don’t feel welcome as they beg church goers to ask themselves if the ACNA is right for them if you oppose women’s ordination.
What we are facing in this day and age is a manipulative take over of our church. We are on the brink of being no better than the episcopal church. Those who speak their opinions regarding women being ordained as Priests, are shut down and condemned.
Our struggle isn’t merely about ecclesiastical malpractice, it’s the question of how far will ACNA leadership allow us to fall off the modernist pit until our church’s identity as Anglican is no more?
English
English
@AnneKGray @vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith Sounds like your parish and diocese does things differently indeed.
English
@SwannHnesce @vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith Not by my rector, and not by my bishop. I’ve never heard that said during the invitation to receive. (I certainly hope they believe in it, because that doctrine is important to me, but children receive communion who probably haven’t worked that one out yet.)
English
@AnneKGray @vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith Your parish does not specify those taking communion must believe in the Real Presence? Just any baptized believer?
English
@SwannHnesce @vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith No, not at all. I didn’t arrive at this conclusion on my own. We each hold our individual opinions on points of doctrine and its importance, but this definition of primary doctrine is why we welcome all baptized believers to share in our Eucharist, for instance.
English
English
@SwannHnesce @vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith Primary doctrine means believing it is essential to one’s salvation. Believing in the physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead is required to be called a Christian. Ordination and the roles of each gender in ecclesiastical life does not.
English
@vagentleman2 @AndrewForFaith Please link the ACNA document indicating that "the ACNA holds WO as an issue of secondary rather than primary doctrine."
WHERE has your assertion here been formally stated by the ACNA?
English
For those of you who were insulted that I posted a picture of a cow a day or two ago and Donk was not in view. Donk has her own following. This angle earlier today made me laugh.
English
@DOMA_Misconduct @The_ACNA I think the post you’re responding to is painting a false picture of a pro-WO militant uprising. I just don’t see it. The ACNA is providing a place for those supporting a male-only priesthood by allowing bishops to ordain only men if they so choose. No one is being ostracized.
English
The core question of the Valentine Appeal remains unaddressed:
How will @the_ACNA safeguard against marginalization of those who adhere to a male-only priesthood?
No Anglican should be deemed unwelcome in their church simply for holding the theological convictions of CS Lewis.

@RevJaredJones I find the 2019 the most difficult, and I didn’t find the 1979 nearly unusable. The traditional Eucharist was Rite I, the contemporary was Rite II. Anglican Standard Text, Renewed Ancient Text? These are not intuitive descriptives, in my opinion.
English
The problem with this, of course, is that the 79 BCP is nearly unusable for people, especially new people. There’s a bazillion different options for stuff and it is completely overwhelming to people
Parish Recluse™️ in Eastertide@parishrecluse
My second short piece for The Anglican Way, in which I encourage parishes to consider abandoning or paring down their printed weekly bulletins to use the BCPs in our pews, instead. (Though I know this would be difficult for parishes that make use of supplemental materials...)

Egalitarian parishes in her diocese are "threatening to leave" unless the next bishop supports women's right to preach.

@monkofjustice The General Thanksgiving still feels classically Anglican to me.

Things that I suggest for memorization by evangelical refugees considering ministry in Anglicania: from DO - confession, traditional canticles, and fixed collects; from Propers - seasonal collects, esp. Advent and Lent; from HC - Prayer of Humble Access. What did I leave out?
