TEC Bishop Notes TEC-Seminary Graduates Deficient Intellectually (No Kidding!)


We are not surprised in the least by AZ's TEC Bishop lamenting the poor intellectual and leadership equipment and skills from/for TEC seminary graduates. No surprises there. We have seen that predominantly in our experience, despite TEC's longstanding effort to rebut that image. Anglicanism has had a long history of scholarly Rectors and Professors, but, with liberalism's eviserative impulse

A very powerful poem from Jackie Hill at P4CM 2012 pleading for sound doctrine instead of itchy ears:

When a Law Professor Steps Outside His Field and into Theology: An Episcopalian



A law professor steps out of his field of law into the field of theology, historical theology, Biblical theology, languages, Confessions, Creeds, liturgy...and sounds very, very foolish.  But then, he's an ex-Baptist and a new-join-Episcopalian.

Theo-Lib Watch: "Is Liberal Christianity Worth Saving?"


This trial attorney, Ken Connor, might have added "American Evangelical Christianity" to the question as well. Fads come and go, like individuals and nations.  Fortunately, we are seeing something of a renaissance in the Confessional world.  More counsel for the old Churchmen, get some young people around and teach, teach, teach.  Jesus emphasized more than once that "His Word" will not pass

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.
