Unbelievable, there really is—actually, there really is—another Reformed

Episcopal Watch: TEC Goes Where the Faithful Cannot
Man-Baby TEC Clerics
Another
dreary story about theological liberals, yeah apostates, in the TEC. Take-way for youths: steer clear, read the Bible regularly, get a
few good systematicians around you, and have recourse to the Reformed
Confessions. We can make book recomendations for inquirers. The last three generations need to repent and apologize to the current generation.

Rome Watch: Jumping into and Swimming Across the Turgid, Brown Tiber River to Rome
Do these children not read anymore? Simple answer: why, of course not. Another function of an absense of reading and catechesis! Never mind the Dumb Ass evangelicals. They wouldn't even know what the issues are. As Archbishop Cranmer prayed for years and years and--then--finally codified in his 1544 Litany, "Good Lord, deliver us from the abominable tyrannies of the Bishop of Rome."

Old Princeton Watch: 31 Jul 1859, Passing of A.A. Alexander's Son, James Waddell Alexander
The Rev. Mr. James Waddell Alexander, an old Princetonian scion and the son of the ever-revered Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander. I've studied Dr. Alexander's commentary on Isaiah. JW Alexander, son of AA Alexander, passed away 31 Jul 1859. It would appear that he had New School tendencies towards revivalism, but better documentation is needed.

Theo-Lib Watch: PHILADELPHIA: Association of Anglican Musicians Feature "Drag Queen"
This is an entirely alternative universe. The holy, catholic and apostolic church through the centuries has always had "external enemies." Nothing new there. It's expected. But, at least we have the First Amendment compared to earlier centuries. Having enemies goes with being a Christian. But, this is an "internal enemy." And be assured, these theological liberals are not kindly disposed
