Whalon's response</a> at The Lead, I believe what he's advocating is not some new and impossible criteria for theological proofs to work with, but, rather, an <i>officially-rcognized</i> acceptance by General Convention of the theological groundwork already done, MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-2568774307932563432010-02-16T22:12:04.513-08:002010-02-16T22:12:04.513-08:00DavidJustinLynch,

I think a great deal of Pierre Whalon, having both argued and conversed with him (via email), but he is dreadfully hung up on some mythical beast called "Communion" in which all churches are one church, which doesn't seem either healthy or holy to me.<br /><br />We've already got one faith and communion through the God we MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-64232854174019974632010-02-16T06:48:48.860-08:002010-02-16T06:48:48.860-08:00Bishop Whalon has made this much more complicated ...Bishop Whalon has made this much more complicated than it needs to be and is too hung up on ecclesiastical politics. This is not a hard issue at all. Every Sunday I say (but would prefer to sing) the Nicene in wherein are the words we "believe in ONE Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church." (Note that the creed does not include a belief in a protestant church). To be Catholic is to be Rev.

I don't think that that's the primary motivation, though, as he, like many liberals, is bending so far over to be accommodating to our enemies he's about to break everyone'MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-55457607921459953652010-02-15T16:25:52.646-08:002010-02-15T16:25:52.646-08:00I meant to say BBC, not BCC in my previous post.I meant to say BBC, not BCC in my previous post.uffda51https://www.blogger.com/profile/11395027089123943228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-29788916808948480822010-02-15T13:06:01.615-08:002010-02-15T13:06:01.615-08:00One thing I will say, and I am no doubt not going ...One thing I will say, and I am no doubt not going to be well received for saying this, but when I finished "To Set Our Hope on Christ" I set it down and said, "Is that it? 30+ years of careful exegetical and theological work and THIS is the best we could present?"

"The Making of Me:John Barrowman" was produced by the BBC and is on YouTube. It covers the latest (2008) science and makes it accessible to the general public.

Did Cramner appoint any commmissions to talk the subject before the prayer book came out in English? Maybe, the Church should have spent 40 years talking about it before they did anything. Or maybe we should have followed the Roman example -- they had 400 years to consider the matter.dr.primrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045500427671158694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-16563564391179517422010-02-15T11:55:10.286-08:002010-02-15T11:55:10.286-08:00Thanks for this, Susan.
