And further, again "yes!", keep us...especially this writer on topic. This should be at the very least a blog-area centred around things that spread out from the actions of Henry VIII and the subsequent flow of the currents of Orthodoxy from that point. That is still a very large body of thought, and with no particular humility, possibly the most important area of study and inspiration since the 1600s.<br /> After my three required readings (so as to understand to the best of my ability) of our leader's most recent entry into his blog, my agreement with each of his points is total. <br /><br />El Gringo Viejo David Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-45482274385182854372014-09-30T15:12:40.858-07:002014-09-30T15:12:40.858-07:00Welcome back.

May I remind <i>all</i> who want to comment on the post: the topic is the unraveling of the Anglican Communion (in which the LGBT movement played a definite role, to be sure), and not gay tendencies in other denominations.

I suggest that you contact Auriel Ragmon directly at his blog, and put your question to him. Meanwhile, I ask that future comments adhere to the thread of the post -- thanks.A. S.

Even serial sins of the flesh do not prevent 'Orthodoxy' in faith, only repentance, perhaps countlessly, is necessary, as long as one believes the truth of the 'Orthodox Faith'. That is saves us in the end, true belief and true repentance, and only God and one's confessor knows the latter.<br />Jim of OlymAuriel Ragmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395216240172741261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-9864076471689491072014-09-26T11:02:02.982-07:002014-09-26T11:02:02.982-07:00History from the perspective of tradition will not...History from the perspective of tradition will not look kindly on befuddled, amiable +Rowan, who should have met Griswold and Schori at his door and politely told them goodbye and have a safe flight back.

What I foresee relatively soon is substantial and organic church unity among conservative denominations of many differing backgrounds (and there may also be an accompanying realignment involving liberal denominations whose membership numbers have been significantly small for a long time). Ar unity of conservative denominations has been a logical thing for some time but has largely not occurred because the status quo was simply more acceptable and comfortable than overcoming practical and theological difficulties related to achieving unity. Given recent cultural and legal developments that should be expected to continue, a unity of conservative Christian denominations will be highly appealing to large numbers of conservative Christians and the path to achieving that unity could surprisingly be easier to tread than has been imagined. . williamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462159892385010372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-47312302447406308812014-09-25T07:34:19.262-07:002014-09-25T07:34:19.262-07:00Only Jesus can restore sight to the blind.
