Honestly, I Think this is a trend infecting all of the mainstream Protestants… IMO, I think itll be us and the Evangelicals versus all of the mainline protestants (those who weren’t driven to either us or the Evangelicals…)

Well, not all. …
 
…in short, all that one means by civilization …

The free wind of inquiry must always continue to blow through the mind, must it not?

Including those who don’t respond, to “protestant”, or “mainline”.

Keep the free wind blowing through there. No end to the possibilities of culturally originated,
historically determined, politically inappropriate terms or strictures or concepts that still need to be blown loose. Ah, if only the Founder had reached his full stature! Consider what his mature views might have been. His? Hmmm. I just felt another breeze.

I’m waiting to see how they open the Pater Noster.

Nevertheless. God revealed himself as masculine, it is in sacred scripture. I would not change that

apparently, the TEC thought it important enough to attempt to gender neutralize how God chose to reveal Himself.

They started this non-sense and are wasting their time when they could be working on the more “important” issues. They are virtue signaling to fit secular ideology.

Should this non-sense gain tract, the other Christians will then need to expend time and energy to combat it, lest confusion and error spread in Christianity. Again.

“Our Facilitator, which art among us, hallowed be our names. Thy republic come, Thy Will to be considered, everywhere. Give us this day, organic bread, and forgive us inequalities, as we forgive our Christian predecessors for all they did and thought. And lead us not, into contemplation, but deliver us from…stuff.”

I bet a diocese in the Anglican Church of Canada (ahem, New Westminster) might be so bold as to officiate this Facilitator Nostris during their most solemn of Eucharistic liturgies. The ACoC has taken the Episcopal Church hand in hand with many of their departures from traditional Christian and Catholic doctrine.

Note how far the Anglican Churches of North America have come - completely swayed by emotion and feeling. Once upon a time, they were noted for their doctrinal orthodoxy and conservatism.

Thank God for the Anglican Church of North America, a new province of orthodox Anglicans expressing catholic doctrine and liturgy. The Anglican Catholic Church, another such. These churches keep Anglicans in a tradition containing many truths of the Church, and some eventually come home to Rome!

What the Diocese of Washington is proposing, is, unsurprisingly, absolute heresy.
 
I had no idea you were Episcopalian.

A little surprised at the “republic”.

The Anglican Catholic Church, as you may know, is one of the 4 major Continuing Anglican jurisdictions now in formal communion (communicatio In sacris) . While one hesitates to be optimistic (no orthodox Anglican is ever optimistic), this is likely going to continue to full formal union, a single Church. A sort of reboot of the 40 years since the St. Louis Congress.

One observes wayward Episcopalians and Roman Catholics who slavishly follow the secular culture, throwing the gospel overboard. One is tempted to enjoy the image of them getting rebooted out the church door, so they won’t be distracting. But then we remember these waywards are the sheep Christ would have gone after. So we continue to pray for them, love them as individuals when we have contact with them, while we continue the fight for orthodoxy.

In your apt quotation from “The Great Divorce”, Lewis describes the closed mind that falsely thinks it is open. But he uses that same analogy to describe the real value of reading old books, something about allowing “sea breezes” to blow through the mind, generations to talk with each other, overcoming our chronological snobbery.
 
That’s from his “On The Reading of Old Books”, which was originally the introduction he wrote for an edition of St. Athanasius’ THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD OF GOD, my copy of which is currently missing. Easier to find, anyway, is the reprinting in GOD IN THE DOCK, beginning on p. 200. The sea breeze shows up on p. 202.

I’ll return Athanasius in the next Jubilee year, I think 2049, when there is cancellation of all rent arrearages, debts, overdue fines, etc.
 
Ah ha!

You don’t also have FERN-SEED AND ELEPHANTS, do you? It’s the Fontana pb edition.
