The effect of the doctrinal shift has been the reinterpretation or denigration of the original REC Declaration of Principles and the isolation and marginalization of those loyal to the beliefs and practices of the REC founding fathers. The REC Anglo-Catholic wing contemptuously refers to them as “Presbyterians” because they are Reformed in their theology. They have not only been isolated and marginalized, they have also been pushed to the margin of the REC and then out of that body. The new REC does not have room for conservative Evangelicals any more than does the ACNA. Conservative Evangelicals are too closely tied to the old REC—to the Bible and the Reformation. They are too Protestant and too Reformed in their beliefs and principles. Changes in Doctrine and Worship in the Reformed Episcopal Church
The ELCiC Bishop is not amused. |
ELCiC bishop Susan Johnson is now in her third term. |
Presiding Bishop Schori installed Bishop Cook, a known pot and alcohol abuser (while driving). Later Cook ran down a biker, who died, and she drove away. |
The Right Reverend James Heiser - not a good trend, in my opinion. |
