An Apology for the Middle Way Between Two Extremes

[Stand Firm] 17 Apr 2008--My argument was not that orthodox Episcopalians and/or Anglicans “must” break from the Anglican Communion or from the Episcopal Church. Rather my position was, is, and has been since General Convention 2006 twofold: 1. Given the Episcopal Church’s corporate legislative embrace of heresy in both 2003 and 2006, a decision on the part of orthodox Episcopalians to formally disassociate from the Episcopal Church or to radically differentiate while remaining within her jurisdictional boundaries (to the point of not partaking in Eucharistic fellowship) is at the very least legitimate according to New Testament standards and 2. a decision on the part of orthodox Anglican provinces, primates, or individual bishops not to partake in Eucharistic fellowship at Lambeth or not to participate in the Lambeth Conference wherein heretics are to be recognized as full and legitimate members of the Church is also legitimate according to New Testament standards. I did not, again, presume to say what orthodox Episcopalians and/or Anglicans “ought” to do or “must” do. Rather I sought to defend on biblical grounds the legitimate decisions of Episcopalians and Anglican leaders who choose not to maintain ecclesial and/or Eucharistic fellowship with those whose teachings go beyond and run counter to the clear teachings of the apostles
