MORE ON THE EPISCOPAL SECESSION

Recently I wrote of the secession of two southern California Episcopal churches from their Bishop and placing themselves under the control of an African bishop. Mark D. Roberts finds a number of lessons from the action, not the least that orthodoxy in religion is moving to the southern hemisphere. From my conversations with those who have sought to spread the gospel overseas, I think there is much truth to that observation.

Mark also points us to a "pastoral letter" by J. Jon Bruno, the bishop snubbed by the secession. He ain't real happy about it. It shows that the Episcopal Church isn't at all interested in addressing the issues that are leading to this split. I think they're really bound from doing so by the extreme liberal positions of their leadership. The continued split of the Episcopal Church is inevitable--lessons to be learned, indeed!
