The Decline and Fall (and Rising Again) of the Anglican Communion

[VirtueOnline] 20 Jan 2009--The following Address was delivered at Mere Anglicanism Conference in Charleston, SC by the Rev. Prof. Stephen NollJanuary 16, 2009.

This paper is dedicated to my bishop, the Rt. Rev. Robert W. Duncan, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. I am proud to serve under his wise and courageous leadership and to contribute this token of theology for the cause of Christ.

In Africa, it is expected that every speaker be prepared to give his testimony on request, and I am going to take this opportunity to share something of my testimony in the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion running alongside a much more significant story: of how the judgment of God has fallen on the Communion and how the mercy of God is still operative.
