Support for Virtue Online! Help Preserve Anglican Orthodoxy

As of late, most of my posts have been steadily been about politics, although this blog is supposed to cover - politics, culture and religion.  Peruse my archives and you'll see I've more to say on hundreds of topics which, without a doubt, are poorly categorized (perhaps a project to be tackled at a later date) but may be of some interest to new readers. 

It won't surprise readers that not only has Connecticut been the base of operations for liberal politics (DeLauro, Dodd, Larson, Murphy, Malloy, etc) but its also been at the forefront of modern liberalization of the Anglican Church (the Diocese of Connecticut is a member of the World-Wide Anglican Communion which is led by Archbishop of Canterbury). The Archbishop's local stooges - Rt. Rev. Dr. Ian T. Douglas, assisted by two far left-wing lunatics - Bishops Suffragans, the Rt. Rev. James E. Curry, and the Rt. Rev. Dr. Laura Ahrens;activists on behalf of former Bishop Andrew Smith - have been a strong advocates for homosexual activism within the Church, and have led efforts to change the Book of Common Prayer to include inclusive language, as well as championing all sorts of Un-Christian teachings within the Diocese.  Recently, James Curry spoke at a Connecticut Judiciary Committee hearing, in favor of abolishing the death penalty, which on most days is seen as a encroachment on the separation of Church and State by liberal ACLU activists.  When it comes to Curry's outspoken service in Satan's name, there are few more disgraceful then he.

My criticism of the Anglican Communion is that they have watched this heretical activity unfold for well over a decade - and done nothing.  Much like our political climate, conservatives have always made the mistake of playing nice with the enemy:  Negotiate, Capitulate, and Surrender.  Liberals expect conservatives to take the high road (or any other road) while they keep a steady march toward their end-game.  Once ground is lost, it is rarely regained.  The Episcopal Church story is the single best example of how liberals scheme, infiltrate, take over and destroy a traditional institution.  Twenty years ago, conservatives wanted to give them a seat at the table to give the impression of being warm, fuzzy, and open.  Now there aren't many conservatives left in the Episcopal Church - those who are openly conservative are threatened with ridicule, and excommunication.  Many conservatives who remain (often too old to jump churches) simply grit their teeth, and shrink in their seats while they die a slow spiritual death - powerless to do anything about it.  Remember, it's a one way street - the liberal way, or you get railroaded out.

Conservatives remaining in the Anglican Community have their hands full.  Many of the local parishes (very late in the game) are trying to separate out from under jurisdiction of the Diocese of Connecticut, and other Dioceses; many are facing legal suits over the ownership of their buildings and their parishioners - which they can't afford.  As we have seen, liberals would rather shut down a conservative Anglican Church rather than simply cut its loses with dissatisfied parishioners.  If that doesn't show you the resolve of the enemy, then nothing else will. 

There is good news, but not much.  There are jurisdictions where a more conservative-legal bent is siding with the renegade conservative churches.  Connecticut is unfortunately not one of these jurisdictions, and has shown itself to be in lockstep with liberal activism every step of the way.  Many Churches, including the Bishop Seabury Church and others have lost financial to the onslaught of funded-bias meant to destroy Anglican Orthodoxy and its tenements.  It is a high crime that will hopefully end with a road to perdition for some of the most evil individuals to ever step foot in a Church, let alone run one.

On the side of Christ and the Righteous, there have been few voices as loud, as strong, or as accurate as David Virtue.  David has been involved in calling attention to church-run heresy for over fifteen years through his online webpage and other publications.  He's helped coordinate resistance to the monsterous actions of the far left, and given traditional Christians a venue to be informed, speak, report news, organize, and pray.

If you haven't frequented http://www.virtueonline.org/ , I strongly recommend reading it.  David sent the following letter out his distribution. Its more than a plea for money, its a call to arms in the service of Christ against a relentless foe:

Dear VOL friend and supporter,

Liquid Modernity. In his new book, Zygmunt Bauman examines how we, as a culture, have moved away from a ”heavy” and “solid” hardware-focused modernity to a “light” and ”liquid”, software-based modernity.

The same might also be said for The Episcopal Church and much of the Anglican Communion today. We have moved from the solidity of the ancient Book of Common Prayer and a fixed Biblical (hardware-focused) understanding of human sexuality to multiple soft sexualities, designed to meet every form of sexual preference and need.

The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada have rolled over to the cultural zeitgeist with devastating consequences. Thousands of Episcopalians and Anglicans are fleeing their parishes in the face of strong-arm liberalism and revisionism that strangles orthodoxy coupled with a faith they no longer recognize. It is a Tsunami-like tragedy few could have foretold. Families, parishes and whole dioceses have left TEC. More may yet follow as the silken ecclesiastical chord of conformity slowly chokes them to death.

The Anglican world, however, has its center of gravity in the Global South, and VOL is the only source the Global South accepts as totally reliable. VOL is playing an important role of returning Anglicanism to its Scriptural foundation.

Is there any hope here? Yes. Across North America there are green shoots of Anglican renewal, revival and reformation taking place. Barely a month goes by when a conference cannot be found taking place in states like South Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Texas and California.

God is doing a new thing wherein His Holy Spirit will not be kept down or silent. Jesus, when confronted by the Pharisees who wanted to rebuke the disciples, said, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

VOL has been crying out about the state of The Episcopal Church for over 15 years. During this time new Anglican jurisdictions have formed. A new day of renewal and reformation has begun.

VOL is documenting every step of it. We travel to every plausible conference we can. We monitor The Episcopal Church by attending their press conferences and asking the hard questions. No stone is left unturned in an effort to find the truth and bring it to light.

But we need your help. VOL has over 4 million readers from 160 countries. They visit VOL’s website daily to read the latest news. A large number are in the Global South and cannot support us. You in North America and Europe can. Your support keeps them informed.

VOL’s budget is trivial when compared to modern newsrooms. We have reporters, a web master, a copy-editor and more to support. We can only do it with your help.

Please support VOL - your anti-propaganda news service. You can make a tax-deductible donation by check or through your credit card or donation at PAYPAL (http://www.virtueonline.org/donate.html). It is easy and quick, just hit the link and pick your option.

We are the mouse that roars day-in and day-out exposing the soft underbelly of TEC’s heterodox views. Please help us continue making it happen. Thank you.

Every blessing.
David

It's worth supporting the good work of Vitueonline.  There is hardly been a more consistent voice in the Anglican Communion over the last 15 years.  Let's make sure they continue for another Fifteen!
