There are some good pastoral letters here on the website of the Diocese of San Joaquin . This historic and momentous decision by our Annual Convention was the culmination of The Episcopal Church’s failure to heed the repeated calls for repentance issued by the Primates of the Anglican Communion and for the cessation of false teaching and sacramental actions explicitly contrary to Scripture. However, we are no longer operating under the looming shadow of this institutional apostasy because our Annual Convention wisely and prayerfully accepted the gracious invitation for sanctuary from the Southern Cone. Among those things that will remain the same is the solid teaching of the word of God free from worldly compromise, giving priority to your spiritual well being, faith, and salvation along with a future in the Anglican Communion.

My brother Charles recently left a post with the Reformed Episcopal Church, to become Minister of Youth for a parish in the Diocese of Ft. Worth . He preached a sermon (I think his first one at the new parish) there on January 20, 2008. I liked it, and perhaps you will as well. (Link to audio.)

One article I wish I'd read when it first appeared is one by Alicia Geromel, which appeared in the May, 2006 issue of FiFNA's FORWARD NOW in CHRIST publication.

No matter who buys and pays for it, the diocese where that church is located has the title. One would think tha...

As the song goes ... Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand! This is just outrageously clever. Not to mention that such a book is actually desperately needed. If any knows the creator of this, please let me know. Or if it is you, please step up and be congratulated!

Here is photographic proof that the Hot Rod Anglican worldwide dominion crusade continues apace. The priest is my friend Fr. Paul Howden, who until 2006 was Rector of St. Luke's REC, Santa Ana, CA . Fr. Howden is now the Pastor of Grace REC, Scranton, PA . The other gentleman is Andrew Matthews. (ps ... St. Luke's is searching for a Rector . They are an ultra-cool congregation, and Orange County has perfect weather all the time! Spread the word!)
