‘Preaching a New Gospel’

http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/?p=8687#more-8687

[Anglican Mainstream] 14 Mar 2009--I grew up the son of an Episcopal priest and served for 18 years in The Episcopal Church (TEC). For the last four years I have served as a priest in the Anglican Church of Uganda and am now chief operating officer of the American Anglican Council. I have seen the persecution of orthodox clergy, experienced the pressure to conform to heretical theology, and heard the false gospel presented by the leadership of TEC. I don’t make these claims lightly, so you may imagine my reaction to Professor James Jones who in last week’s Church Times protests the criticisms of TEC that he heard at the CofE General Synod as being unfounded and untrue.

In his opinion piece, Professor Jones noted that one speaker described the American Church as "preaching a new gospel" and declared that this was "misleading, if not incorrect." Not so. The speaker at General Synod was correct. The American Church (TEC) is preaching a new gospel that radically departs from Anglicanism and historic Christianity. In their own words, the Presiding Bishop and her predecessors, bishops and other leaders of TEC have denied Jesus as the only way to the Father, denied the divinity and uniqueness of Jesus Christ as savior of the world, denied the resurrection, denied heaven and hell, denied salvation through the cross of Jesus Christ, denied the authority of Holy Scripture, denied the creeds, and denied biblical standards for human sexuality affirmed by the Anglican Communion in Lambeth Resolution 1.10 (1998). And in her own words, the current Presiding Bishop has demonstrated her affirmation of the classic heresies of Pelagianism, Marcionism, Pluralism, Universalism and Gnosticism.
