progressive Christians

Things are getting fierce in the Episcopalian schism: a priest asks his bishop for permission to report to a different, more conservative, bishop…and the bishop dealt with it thusly:

…I have chosen to view David Miller’s letter of December 17, 2006 as a request to renounce orders in this church. This action was laid before the clerical members of the Standing Committee on December 26 and 27. They concurred with my acceptance of David Miller’s Renunciation of Holy Orders. I pronounced and recorded this action in the presence of two priests of this Diocese on December 27, 2006. As of that date, David Miller is no longer a Priest-in-Good-Standing in this Diocese and is no longer the Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Petaluma…

Yow.

It’s the night of the long knives over there with the servants of the Lamb.

    Thanks for the link. The implosion of the mainstream Protestant denominations after their capture by the progressives is fascinating to watch from afar.

    On the other hand, the inside game stuff is that my partner and I represent dissident Protestant churches like St. John’s….actually we represent St. John’s; I have a copy of the Bishop’s letter on my desk.
