I would like to track down the full text of the resolution TEC's GC agreed to and consider it carefully.Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-35088900051754714562009-07-20T15:04:21.200+12:002009-07-20T15:04:21.200+12:00Have you read Albert Mohler's post on Bishop S...Have you read <a href="http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=4129" rel="nofollow">Albert Mohler's post</a> on Bishop Schori's, "great Western heresy" remark?<br /><br />He writes,<br /><br /><i>[T]he Bishop identified as heresy what the church -- throughout all the centuries and in every major tradition -- has recognized as central to the Christian faith. The confession that "Jesus Christ is Lord" has been central to biblical Christianity from the New Testament onward.</i> <br /><br />He writes that she has spoken, "heresy -- true heresy -- in its most undisguised form." <br /><br />Of course, Schori is only the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, not the whole church. But in order to reach her exalted position her views must have been approved by a majority of senior Episcopal Church leaders. So what are we to make of a resolution of leaders of that church that, "affirms that Jesus is Lord"? Maybe they're thinking of some "Jesus" of their own imagination. Maybe Matthew 7:21-23 applies.Janicenoreply@blogger.com
