A blessed feast of St Thomas Aquinas to you. Today, I give God thanks for 3 years of being a priest in God's one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church

All Things Necessary

I apologize for going a bit dormant without an announcement. I am a fulltime rector of a growing Episcopal church, and we are in a busy season! Blessing upon you in these waning days of Advent and coming Christmastide. I do have things in the works for the New Year, so until then, say your prayers, read your Bible, and get yourself to the Eucharist.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and became truly human.

In the collect from last Sunday, we ask God to aid us in reading the Holy Scriptures, granting us to "hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them." Just in time for this prayer is an excellent piece on Anglican doctrine of scripture from Fr. Christopher Poore through his blog: "Sourcing an Anglican Doctrine of Scripture: William Whitaker." I commend it to your reading: substack.com/home/post/p-179264751

One of the challenges that The Episcopal Church faces in getting its best theology out there is that much of the current good work is happening on blogs and websites. Maybe I need to launch a weekly "Blog Roundup" to highlight a few good things that have come out this week.

Some of you in the comments scoffed at the suggestion that Archbishop Mbanda's communique might prove to be an overreach, but here the Anglican Church of Congo, a GAFCON member, has stated its intention to remain in the Anglican Communion!

I'll be recording a video very soon with the Rev. Mark Michael, editor-in-chief of The Living Church. He's been doing excellent reporting on global Anglicanism, including recent rumblings from GAFCON.

Dean Andrew McGowan, who I had on to talk about the next Archbishop of Canterbury, has dropped a really helpful blog post entitled: "No, the "Global South" Has Not Left the Anglican Communion" (linked below). I am seeing a number of reactions that don't seem to understand Anglican polity at all (Redeemed Zoomer saying the ABC is basically like the pope, which is not at all true, comes to mind). Anglican polity is all about autonomous national churches. The Archbishop of Rwanda hath no jurisdiction here, or even over any member church of gafcon. Read more here:
