These b...I too am with DBW in hoping for the best. These bleek times offer little sign of optimism, but I choose to have it. Another story that comes to mind is the story of Elijah the prophet who thought he was totally alone in his orthodoxy. God told him about a few thousand (I can't remember the correct number offhand) that were also faithful, but that the rest of the entire nation was apostate.<BR/><BR/>This story is strikingly similar to the church worldwide today, not just in the ECUSA or the Anglican Communion. We must remain faithful and fight till we are physically cast out from them by them. They need people to preach the gospel to them, just as anyone else does.<BR/><BR/>Please stay and fight the good fight. Please join with me in Christian unity to fight the enemies of God wherever they are, especially within the Church!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157186151592464752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10205805.post-1117621643372707692005-06-01T05:27:00.000-05:002005-06-01T05:27:00.000-05:00BUT... the religious powers that be in Jesus' day ...BUT... the religious powers that be in Jesus' day were just as flawed and corrupt... and Jesus kept on keeping on. And through history, the church has gone through phases where things seemed hopeless. I am hoping that that is what is going on in ECUSA. Some day I hope whats going on now will be likened to the inquisition or the selling of indulgences or some other particularily embarrasing bit of Rome's history. <BR/>We can hope.... Or maybe you're right, we're on the Titanic and most everyone is in denial that the ship is sinking...DBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07327574529287324041noreply@blogger.com
