Pelagius would be proud of Stephen Neill. Denial of original sin leads to increased liberalism and departure from orthodox Christianity.

It would be nice if someone went after the heretics in the Episcopal Church, but it is too late for that.

original sin brought death into the world. death is not a friend to anyone. creation suffers and creation awaits things being made right and good again.

“Rev. Stephen Neill questioned the doctrine of Original Sin and actually blamed God and commends Eve for her actions. “

Um, I don’t think so.

Actually, the (capital-O) Orthodox churches don't believe in original sin at all.

All Protestantism IS departure from orthodox Christianity.

I would think original sin would be one of the easiest ones to believe. Just look around.

Canon Neill, if you’ve ever read Lewis’ “The Great Divorce”, just so you know, the Episcopal Ghost wasn’t intended to be a role model.
