Dr. Francis Wade has been accurately quoted as using the term [emphasis mine] "'<i>sol<b>o</b>' scriptura</i>" then he must be a church scholar less than literate in the language of the Church, by which I refer to <i>Latin</i>!<br /><br />The grammatically correct term is "<i>sola scriptura</i>," the modifier <i>sola</i> being <b>required to agree in number and gender</b> with the <i>scriptura</i> which it modifies.<br /><br />Of course, it could be an error of transcription—I have no assurance that the quotation is accurate in all regards. But I also wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that the Reverend Doctor's expertise is much vaunted, when all is said and done.<br /><br />Pax et bonum,<br />Keith TöpferMartial Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679584221923893460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-72775463572072411212010-08-14T12:47:55.574-07:002010-08-14T12:47:55.574-07:00Fr.

The decision of its Supreme Court has become final: the Dennis Canon has no force or effect within its borders. No Episcopal Diocese in the State, nor ECUSA itself, may seek to enforce the Canon in South Carolina courts.A. S.

The issue is not a diocesan convention attempt to leave the Episcopal Church. The issue is, IMV, a concern about the diocese's willingness to enforce the Denis Canon if congregations attempt to leave with parish property. I can't say for sure whether that concern is well-founded, but it may well be.Daniel Weirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430381764138066595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-14223251516270327512010-08-13T16:34:05.632-07:002010-08-13T16:34:05.632-07:00Curmudgeon, I was at one of the most recent Forum...Curmudgeon, I was at one of the most recent Forum meetings around the diocese. The title was " Continuing the conversation". Yeah, right! WHAT conversation?? There is NO conversation with forum members. Some are actual believers but many are Gnostics who think the Episcopal Church is somehow "progressive". Unity in diversity ? Ummm, ONLY if you are an Epsicopagan. Uhhh, most in this diocese are NOT buying it. Look at the votes at our recent conventions.<br /><br />The forum had a couple of people to answer questions at these meetings. One was an attorney who does NOT know canon law. She was spotting the nonsense that TEC is hierarchal. She should really just give it up and keep out of Canon law.<br /><br />Keep on keeping on. You are doing a great service.<br /><br />SC Blucat LadyAlexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222877183938209659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-21288059545651919342010-08-13T07:34:37.817-07:002010-08-13T07:34:37.817-07:00Judging (as curmudgeons do) by the track records o...Judging (as curmudgeons do) by the track records of the spokespersons quoted, the via media movement does not have a prayer.<br /><br />Curmudgeons harrumph, others listen.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-22551287446908535492010-08-13T00:08:26.943-07:002010-08-13T00:08:26.943-07:00"By professing to seek "unity in diversi...<i>"By professing to seek "unity in diversity", Via Media in fact is actively promoting the spread of heterodoxy until it prevails in every single diocese within ECUSA."</i><br /><br />Dear Curmudgeon,<br /><br />You write as if you neither like, nor approve of this (Orwellian) practice.<br /><br />If you will simply engage in The Listening Process, you will soon embrace the loving inclusivity of <i>Via Media</i>.<br /><br />Don't fight it.
