This is quite special. Rev. Rod Bower, vicar at Gosford Anglican Church in the Diocese of Newcastle, has posted this up on facebook… Here’s the full text of his statement: I don’t really believe in Heaven and Hell at least not in the traditional sense. If there is a Heaven it must be a bit […]
Tomorrow marks yet another line crossed in the Anglican Church of Australia. With that in mind the following statement from the Anglican Church League is very important.
Some Theses for you all. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth (John 14:6), spoke truth that He received from His Father (John 8:40), and prays for His followers to be sanctified in that same truth (John 17:17). When our Lord said “Let your yes be yes and your no be no” (Matt. 5:37) He […]

from the BBC For his part, President Putin said US-Russian “relations should not be sacrificed due to disagreements over individual, albeit extremely significant, international problems,” the Kremlin said. Right out of the playbook. Yes we have our issues, but we’re really all still friends. Think about it for a minute. If only Obama and the […]

I thought it helpful just to stop and outline my motivation in writing about the current tensions in the Anglican Church in Australia and wider abroad. At times it can look like those of us who speak up are just unhelpful destroyers of unity. So, in response, a few basic principles that are currently guiding […]

Helpful material from Justin Taylor at TGC Boston College philosopher Peter Kreeft: The common, modern misunderstanding of hypocrisy [is] not practicing what you preach. . . .

You must always give the questioner the impression that […]
