Are there any Anglican/Episcopalian Freepers out there? What do you guys think about what's going on in your organisation? And what are you doing about it? Is there any help you would need from us, your fellow Christians (because in the end that's all that matters) and fellow freepers?
Yes, we think it's absolutely horrendous. I've been on several Anglican/Episcopal conservative messageboards and both clergy and non-clergy are VERY upset. We think it might be the final straw that could split off the conservatives within the western world from the liberal establishment in ECUSA/Canada/Church of England. There's a dying hope that ++Rowan was possibly duped into writing the book comments without reading the contents and may apologize. Otherwise he has just revealed himself to be the worse kind of liberal.
As for this trash which claims to be a Bible, it's not worth the paper it is printed on. Among its numerous faults:
- they remove the Book of Revelation and replace it with a book from the Apocrypha
- the Holy Spirit at the Baptism is a female pigeon
- they take out the Bible verses against homosexuality
- they change the words of St Paul to recommend sex with a 'partner' rather than with a spouse in marriage
- no angels, only God's 'helpers'
- no Satan. Jesus is tempted by thoughts popping into His head
- Rocky? Maggie?
It's simple heresy. Drivel and garbage. End of story.
Yes. ahadams2 has been keeping the ping list for us, ever since the Robinson abomination was forced on us all.
And what are you doing about it?
Keeping a death watch, basically.

I can only speak for myself, of course. But I could sure use some Xanax. ;D
I'm a piskie. I'm not giving them any more of my money, that's all I can think to do about it.
