From a book by Randall Balmer: “In the fall of 1959, the Rev. Dennis J. Bennett, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Van Nuys, California, began to speak in tongues. […] the vestry of St. Marks secured Father Bennett’s resignation. […] “We’re Episcopalians, not a bunch of wild-eyed hillbillies”, [said one parishio...ner]. Bishop Francis Eric Bloy of Los Angeles assigned a new priest to Van Nuys and expressly forbade speaking in tongues under Episcopal auspices in his diocese.” I find this description hilarious. What would happen in your diocese should such a thing happen today?Read More

Rita Sounds like a puzzling battle. If you choose to send your children to a Christian rather than a Muslim school, should you not expect them to keep to Christian rules while there?

I must have missed this interesting development. The Times (London) says 400,000 former Anglicans are ready to move to Rome in response to the Pope's offer. I find this para particularly intriguing: "Archbishop John Hepworth, the twice-married Primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion, who led negotiations with th...e Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome, said he was “profoundly moved” by the Pope’s decision and would immediately seek the approval of the group’s 400,000 members worldwide to join. He described the development as “a moment of grace, perhaps even a moment of history”.Read More
