In August of 2001 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) estabalished a "Full Communion Partnership" with The Episcopal Church through the adoption of "Called to Common Mission".

Therefore:



Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Nothing ‘gay’ about being a homo...

It’s getting increasingly difficult to argue against that.

Orthodox Ping!

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

During the first half of the 20th Century Orthodox Hierarchs in the US encouraged their faithful to receive the Sacraments from Episcopal Churches if there was no Orthodox Church in their community.

Should any wonder why that economia was rescinded, look no farther.

Jesus says, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples.”

And Jesus will tell them, “I never knew you.”

I am bugged by the use of the word “gay”. Aren’t this reporters and clergy able to use the proper term “homosexual?”

Don’t water down your religion — tell the truth.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve always looked at Episcopalians and just shrugged.

You can’t be a ‘cafe Christian’ and pick out the laws of God that you like and throw out the rest.

The Episcopal Church has been apostate for years. Today it is little more than a far left social club, albeit one with some nice stained glass windows. To the extent it still has any pretensions to being a religious body, I’d label them as the Church of What’s Happening Now whose primary purpose appears to be burning incense before the altar of the zeitgeist while training missionaries to convert Christians still worshiping a fallen and very politically incorrect God.

John 16:7 Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as a He.

Why do these ‘Christian’ churches mess around with God’s preferred pronouns. Should we start calling God Cis, xyr, ect?

Maybe we should stick to revelation and not mess it all up with our own imagination.

How is "the Lord, the giver of life," a "she"? Isn't "kyrie" masculine?

But the nimrodism is strong in this one.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Who with the Father and the Son, She is worshiped and glorified. She has spoken through the Prophets.”

"Who with the Father and the son, She is worshiped and glorfied." That's just poor English. There should be a comma before "who", not a period, and the relative pronoun makes any kind of subject, much less "she", unnecessary and incorrect. Put a comma after "glorfied" and then follow it with "who", and the need for "she" or any other subject word is also unnecessary and incorrect.

A better rendering, and one that doesn't open the door to clerical mischief, is

..."the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, show proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and is Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken by the prophets."

That is the version we use in my church, minus the filioque.

When words can amen anything, they can also mean nothing.

who = Who

And I abandoned the Latin innovation aka Filioque over four years ago.

I did thirty years ago. It’s funny, but I am still conscious of leaving it out.
