Chaos Theory
"It is a mischievous illusion," wrote Sidney
Dark almost eight decades ago, "that incompatibles can be
made compatible and that the contradictory can be made to
agree. No society, secular or religious, can permanently
exist if it be made up of men who differ on matters of
fundamental importance."
Dark was writing with John Henry Newman and Thomas Arnold in
mind. However, his words apply with even greater force today
as the Anglican Communion grapples with doctrinal chaos.
Katharine Jefferts Schori, recently elected as
presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United
States, included in her first public utterance a reference
to "our Mother Jesus". Not surprisingly, she also advocates
the ordination of sexually active homosexuals, male and
female.
As worldwide Anglican schism looms on the twin issues of
women bishops and homosexuality. Anglo-Catholics and
Evangelicals alike face a threat in light of which their
traditional differences pale into insignificance. Those
pressing for the consecration of women as bishops constantly
raise allegations of misogyny to divert attention from the
fact that the fundamental question raised by such a step are
theological. They also exhibit not the slightest concern
that unilateral action by Anglicans will destroy prospects
of unity with Rome and the Orthodox churches.
No doubt the doctrinal aberrations evident in the United States
will in due course be inflicted on Anglicans in Australia.
For some, this would make continued membership of the
Anglican Church of Australia impossible.

Proper reverence
I write to correct the way a member of St Francis'
Theological College faculty was addressed in a recent letter
(Leaping to Conclusions, Focus, 2006). The Rev Cathy Laufer
is a priest in Holy Orders, duly and legally ordained within
the Anglican Church of Australia, which is also part of the
one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

The return of Messiah will not come until
the falling away from the faith the doctrine of the Christ
comes first and there be great apostasy......

ORGANISED CHAOS:
There is and has been more than chaos in the anglican
religion for many centuries. There has been organised
chaos........click
Homosexual leadership in any church claiming salvation is
devilish and just as devilish as homosexual membership and
female bishops and even as devilish as ongoing 'so called'
positions in churches such as "Priest".......click.
● NO REVERENCE FOR THE
CHRIST
(or his doctrine)
Mr. Saines refers to a woman who apparently is a
reverend-priest in the Anglican Church.
I am glad that Mr. Saines said that Cathy Laufer was duly
and legally ordained within the 'ANGLICAN' Church of
Australia because his comment would not hold water if
Messiah had a say in the matter. The priestly practices of
the Anglican Church are no more valid than those of the
Roman Catholic System - The Mother of Harlot Churches. No
man or woman in their righteous mind would or could revere
an imposter, a heretic or a liar, religious or
otherwise...amen....click..........click
