[Stand Firm] 25 Jul 2006--There has been no response from the Archbishop of Canterbury of course to the seven diocese requesting Alternate Primatial Oversight. This is uncharted territory and we need to continue to pray for courage and godly wisdom for Rowan Williams, the man in a difficult predicament at his moment in Anglican history. Canon Anderson said that as we know, the issues of sexuality are only the symptoms of the real differences dividing the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, which are best understood by how the following two questions are answered: 1. Is Jesus THE way to salvation, "the way, the truth, and the life," as he said he is, or is he just A way, one pathway among many? and 2. Is the Bible the word of God, (is "all Scripture God breathed" as the apostle Peter tells us it is) or is it just some words from God among other things? These are the deeper things that divide us and they form the basis for our irreconcilable differences--two different religions: one is the faith once delivered to the saints, the faith of the Bible and the traditions of the holy catholic and apostolic faith; and the other a religion combining unitarianism, secular humanism, cultural relativism and new age spirituality with some of the teachings of Jesus.
