One of the most remarkable stories of this day is watching evangelicals become -- far too slowly, true! -- more catholic (small "c") in realizing the value of the larger body of Christ. "<br /><br />Evangelicals have always had a nature to divide for purity or sake of what whever they hold dear. Then Anglo-Catholics have as well (thinking Continuing Church splits or forcing Pope Leo XIII's hand). Some crazy Baptist (as in a prof. a TEDS said the reason they have speedbumps on campus or another friend remembers him naming by name individuals in an audience as dangerous to Chistiandom) wrote in a book of <i>Evangelicals & Catholics Together</i>, that in the consenstration camps, GULAG and other places of great pressure, that we desire to work together (not just thinking of RC/Protestant divide but Protestant/Protestant RC/RC, RC/EO, EO/EO divides).<br /><br />Lord forgive us ... we are stubborn!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261766465382455822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-6530184387964644072009-10-23T12:33:47.527-04:002009-10-23T12:33:47.527-04:00Dear Rolin, you're right about getting the rig...Dear Rolin, you're right about getting the right person in Augustine's chair. For the record, I admire the holy father. He's a leader! <br /><br />What I cant get over is RW. He sat with a cardenal who publicly announced plans to "poach" anglicans. Thats like smiling at someone who's about to enter your house and take away the furniture without your permission. <br /><br />If I was the ABC, I'd get my shotgun, run that Cardenal out of town and protect my flockraphaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-8890438063884076852009-10-23T11:24:44.918-04:002009-10-23T11:24:44.918-04:00Hmmm...

Such a state is unlikely to exist before there is a change in who sits in the chair of St. Augustine.Rolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251910335736110149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-39780140397432949002009-10-23T06:33:28.137-04:002009-10-23T06:33:28.137-04:00So when are Anglicans going to provide a special p...So when are Anglicans going to provide a special provision for Roman Catholics who want to switch over to the Anglican Church because of defects in the Roman church? <br /><br />http://bolivianbeat.blogspot.com/2009/10/roman-church-steal-anglican-sheep-pope.htmlraphaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-35670985095148050972009-10-23T00:45:03.750-04:002009-10-23T00:45:03.750-04:00"But that might also leave a smaller, homogen..."But that might also leave a smaller, homogenous Church behind."<br /><br />There's the rub. One of the most remarkable stories of this day is watching evangelicals become -- far too slowly, true! -- more catholic (small "c") in realizing the value of the larger body of Christ. Any event that would segment us more into our own divisions (whether evangelicals alone, Anglo-Catholics alone, or what have you) is a huge step backward, and something not to be desired.Ralph Webbnoreply@blogger.com
