A very interesting article. The Anglican Church does have a long history of compromise, and it has taken its via media role seriously. However, it is a Church that because of this stance is for the most part no longer Christian. Having been a member of Episcopalian churches from my youth till less than a decade ago, I have seen it led by individuals who do not believe in Scripture as foundational to the faith, nor do they really believe in Jesus Christ. They go through the motions of tradition, but even the tradition is jaded. The language of the Book of Common Prayer has been modernized and sanitized, and the heart of the CHristian message destroyed in favor of some pagan distortion. There are many faithful and Orthodox Episcopalians who want the CHurch to go back to its reformer roots, and they have left the ANglican communion to join with other like minded and conservative Episcopalians. I am not sure why this gentleman, Fr. Longnecker did not go in that direction. It is true that many Anglican churches are so Anglo Catholic as to be indistinguishable in practice from ROman Catholic ones. That is another reason I left the Episcopal Church. I am not a Roman Catholic. I do not ascribe to popery in any form, and the contemporary Episcopal church has in many ways gone straight over to Rome. Anyhow, I think there is are other Protestant alternatives to becoming a Roman Catholic when you are disillusioned by Anglicanism.

Alternatives? So it’s like picking up any other consumer item? Does truth happen to have anything to do with it?
