[American Anglican Council] January 11, 2006--“The Book of Daniel,” a new television series featuring an Episcopal parish priest that first aired Friday, January 6, 2006 on NBC, is a travesty with no redeeming qualities. It is an affront to biblically faithful Episcopalians and Anglicans who have been devastated by the Episcopal Church’s abandonment of the apostolic faith. Tragically, it is not entirely inaccurate in its depiction of revisionist theology and doctrine adopted by a majority of Episcopal Church leadership. “The Book of Daniel” does not represent the average Episcopal Church across the United States, but it hits close to home with regard to revisionism espoused by numerous bishops, clergy, dioceses and congregations. While it is highly unlikely that one would find almost every sin and perversion of truth imaginable lived out in a single family as the show portrays, the program does offer an accurate representation of the downward spiral of the Episcopal Church over the last 30 years. The script even gives a wink and nod to the “current crisis,” with references to “a slap on the wrist from Canterbury” and “an openly gay bishop in New Hampshire.”
