The Anglican Book of Homilies discusses the folly of prayer to saints in the Homily on Prayer. I have slightly cleaned up and modernized the language of a portion of this homily and offer it as follows: Thus you see, that the authority both of the Scripture, and also of Augustine, does not permit, that […]

ACNA’s March Conclave
Anglican Unscripted filled in the details on the forthcoming ACNA conclave. George Conger reports here that the conclave will happen after the March 12th consecration of Chip Edgar as bishop. The conclave is scheduled to take place at the St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center on Seabrook Island. Archbishop Beach wants 90 percent of the […]
ACNA College of Bishops and C4SO
It turns out that my suspicions about the lack of a press release from the College of Bishops meeting were correct. Anglican Unscripted reported on this over the weekend. Among other things, they said: There are rumors that some churches within C4SO no longer want to be associated with ACNA. Ten to twelve C4SO churches […]
ACNA College of Bishops Meeting – January 2022
As I write this post, there has been no press release from ACNA regarding the meeting last week. I find this odd, particularly in light of all the problems that exist right now. Canon Phil Ashey wrote an email summary of the meeting for the American Anglican Council, and I will paste that in here […]
The Expositor’s Greek Testament
The Expositor’s Greek Testament is one of my favorite commentaries. I picked up a volume at a used store many years ago and had it rebound. Even though I can’t read Greek, I can make out the words with other helps and read the commentary. Volume 4 is available online for free here.

The End this Isn’t
Events like last Covid and reactions to it often spur on premillenial believers who think that things have never been this bad before and that the end is in sight. This is not new. James Moorhead mentions an encounter that Robert Willett had back in World War I: …he encountered an energetic man who explained […]

Another case of sexual misconduct in ACNA
While talking to Bart Gingerich about sexual misconduct cases in ACNA he mentioned another case from the Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin. A priest named Jesus Antonio Castañeda-Serna was accused of sexual misconduct and arrested on February 24th 2019. The Fresno chief of police said: The Diocese put out a statement that said: Disturbingly, Castañeda […]
ACNA and sexual misconduct
Yesterday the ACNA posted this press release: Although grievous, this is a good thing. It is good that the man was exposed and removed, although it was so late in life that it worries me to think that he was in the clergy and in leadership for many, many years while engaged in a massively […]
