A Move Toward Hope

Dr. Mohler published a post yesterday concerning news which is shifting the paradigm of the Episcopal Church in America

In 2003, the Episcopal Church elected an openly-gay Bishop, which caused a firestorm both within the Anglican and Episcopalian Church (Europe and America respectively) . Yesterday, however, news came that conservative Episcopalians have broken away from the church and are officially forming the Anglican Church of North America. This new denomination intends to hold highly Scriptural authority, specifically regarding the biblical position on homosexuality. 

Perhaps the most significant (and most exciting) aspect of the new ACNA is that the divisions will not be determined by territory, but rather theological unity.

Here is the article from Dr. Mohler: Theology Not Territory

Remember to thank God for our fellow believers who are taking a courageous stand for biblical teaching!

J.I. Packer was actually "dismissed" from the Episcopalian denom for calling the gay leaders to repent. Not sure how you turn someone like that away, but...go for it.
