How Well Do We Know American Anglican History?

Particularly of the nineteenth century. The evangelical wing of Anglicanism in the United States ceased to have any active influence by the end of that century.

A Sad Departure

David J. Randall’s new book: A Sad Departure: Why we could not stay in the Church of Scotland, chronicles the all too familiar departure from biblical orthodoxy, this time in the Church of Scotland, and the recent sad departure of ministers and congregations as a result. It contains a narrative familiar to many of us in Anglican North… Read More A Sad Departure

Sin and Salvation

Partly for sermon preparation and partly for my own personal edification, I have been reading Marcus Peter Johnson’s great book, One with Christ: An Evangelical Theology of Salvation.

Stepping Out into Spring

Entering North American Anglicanism in leaving the Episcopal Church (TEC) is like stepping out of a dark cellar into the bright daylight of the European spring in 1945. Ruins everywhere point to past glories. There’s a light giddiness in the silence. The shelling has stopped. The war may not be completely over, but it is… Read More Stepping Out into Spring

The Passive-Agressive Tolerance Trick

We are not blank slates. Everybody has presuppositions. The problem is with the person who doesn’t think he has any. They are the ones who pull the passive-aggressive tolerance trick. As you can guess if you have followed my last eight posts, I have experienced online the passive-aggressive tolerance trick in several variations. What is… Read More The Passive-Agressive Tolerance Trick

Hello, I must be going, 7

The more determined men become to despise the teaching of Christ, the more zealous should godly ministers be to assert it and the more strenuous their efforts to preserve entire. And more than that, by their diligence to ward off Satan’s attack. John Calvin As my study drew to a close and I realized how… Read More Hello, I must be going, 7

Celebrating the second week of #advent & the thermometer at -8 C by sharing a favorite late #spring #rose memory.
‪My bulb planting had a surprise. Ordered Narcissus ‘Thalia’ & received Narcissus ‘Tete-à-Tete’. Couldn’t be more different! Contacted supplier. Apologies, Thalias on express dispatch. I keep the mistake. Will pot them up for some Spring color at the front door‬. #garden #gardening #gardener #gardenerslife #narcissusthalia #narcissusteteatete

And a free app allows me to access from anywhere via my iMac, iPad or iPhone. #garden #gardening #gardenersofinstagram #gardeners #gardenerslife #weathernerd
