It’s becoming a pattern: The former Anglo-Catholic priest of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Rosemont, Fr. David L. Moyer has been denied his final step into the Roman Catholic Church following 10 years of ecclesiastical wandering that started with The Episcopal Church, migrated through the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Forward in Faith, the Church of …

To Go Back to “The Old Time Religion,” You Must First Prove That It Is
Dan Tomberlin’s post on the “old time religion” deals with a subject that conveys one thing to one group of people and one thing to another. The whole business of “religion” has gotten a great deal of press thanks to Jefferson Bethke’s video and this relates to that in an indirect way, but this is …

An Episcopalian’s Appeal to Authority Falls Flat
Although I’m sure his Presiding Bishop finds this post suitable for framing, somehow Episcopal minister Frederick Schmidt’s appeal to the authority of the church doesn’t quite connect. Let’s start with the issue he uses to illustrate his point: the proper colour for Advent: In a recent dust-up over liturgical colors, a colleague of mine was …

What a Motorcycle Gang Knows that Katharine Jefferts-Schori Does Not
The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church depicts Our Lord and Saviour in a rather topsy-turvy way: In her book The Heartbeat of God, Jefferts Schori also taunts Jesus many times, calling him both a Hell’s Angel gang leader (115) as well as a “party animal” (4). This kind of depiction of Jesus Christ and …

This is the time of year when we think of, amongst other things, all the things we were doing and experiencing at this time of the year in days past. For me, this Christmas is a milestone in one respect: forty years ago now, I was in New Orleans, along with my entire family, on …

Some More (unAmerican) Thoughts on Rwanda, AMiA and Chuck Murphy
A few days ago, as this story was breaking, I made some comments based on my experience with African oversight and church politics. Since that time AMiA Bishop Chuck Murphy has made the break and there is all kinds of back and forth on this issue, I keep feeling compelled to say more, because this …

AMiA Bishop Chuck Murphy’s Moment of Truth
Seems another wearer of the purple shirt is getting an offer he can’t refuse: The head of the Anglican Mission in America has been threatened with ecclesiastical discipline for contumacy. Unless Bishop Chuck Murphy repents of his disobedience and apologizes for his offensive statements within seven days, the Rwanda House of Bishops will assume that …
