Presiding Bishop Observes Triduum at Historic Anglo-Catholic Parish in Washington, D.C.

There is currently a struggle between two distinct Anglican ecclesiologies, each with its own camp, but the two need not be opposed, according to the Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold. The Presiding Bishop participated in a liturgical foot washing on Maundy Thursday, heard confession on Good Friday and performed confirmations on Holy Saturday this year at the historic Anglo-Catholic parish of St. Paul’s on K Street in Washington, D.C.

Speaking to adult baptismal candidates on Holy Saturday in response to a question about the state of the Anglican Communion, the Presiding Bishop said he defined the two different doctrines as: the ecclesiology of scripture (the Bible) and the ecclesiology of the sacraments. Those who adhere to the first doctrine pursue a “plain reading of the Bible,” he said. This doctrinal approach can give people “incredible courage and strength,” especially during times of civil war and strife, said Bishop Griswold. He cited Anglicans in Africa, who cope with civil discord and atrocities such as child soldiers, as examples of those holding an ecclesiology of scripture. While this approach to faith confers strength in times of war and strife, “it also means that some of the complexities…then become problematic,” he said.

“Truth has many facets to it, as opposed to the view that there is one truth.”

Figures Rev. Frank also practices the religion of moral relativism. No absolutes for Episcopalians, just the doctrine of "blessed ambiguity".

I can't wait for schism.

Always wanted to try St. Paul's, heard it might be a conservative parish. Allowing Franky to spew such garbage gives me second thoughts.

Yes, they do need to be opposed.
