Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers: The travail of the Anglican CommunionSunday, July 06, 2008The travail of the Anglican CommunionI am not ignoring the crisis in the Anglican Communion, though I would like to. Here is a depressing example of what the English newspapers are writing:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2249402/Will-Anglican-debate-end-in-fudge-or-schism.html?pageNum=2 It has been my position for a very long time that those of us who are evangelicals within the Anglican Communion should stay in and fight for a more biblical, more doctrinal, more apostolic theology while at the same time holding varying views on the hot-button issues at hand. Easier said than done, as "generously orthodox" anti-schismatic bishops like Ed Little of Northern Indiana and John Howe of Central Florida have discovered. This group, especially, needs our support.

Long ago, the (late) Rev. Edmund Mullen of Holy Trinity, Inwood, once told me that what this church needed was a blood-red purge.
However, there aren't any red-blooded Anglicans left, which is why some evangelical Episcopalians are looking all the way to Africa for moral leadership.
