Why seek oversight outside:There is hope within the USA
"Silver and gold I have none: but what we have, we give you." These words of the Apostle Peter, are ours now. What we have is a deep faith in Jesus and commitment towards His Kingdom in the traditional Anglican way.
The coffers of our church may not be full, but our hearts are full of love for the Lord and His faithful. This is what you will experience in any of our UECNA churches: traditional God-focused liturgy, sound doctrine reminiscent of the old church, sacramental worship, faithful who travel sometimes great distances to attend the service, exuberant love within the ambience of smallness of the congregation and dedication to one another. You will also find priests who are convinced of their calling, at the service of the people, wanting to foster the families in the Anglican faith tradition.
These days there seems to be a trend toward turning to the global south for oversight. There is still hope within United States among the continuing churches!
Here is one of my earlier blogs in the April of 2005:
The “Faith once given to the saints” has been subjected to so much compromise to fit the convenience of some individuals that the faithful people are constantly challenged by the proponents of such compromise. Those who abide by Scriptures and Traditions are not merely conservatives but the FAITHFUL. Those who abdicate Scripture and tradition are the apostates.
Such faithful ministers of God and the faithful people need not have to look to Africa for an apostolic oversight. There is hope within United States. There is the UNITED EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF NORTH AMERICA, that has rejected ECUSA’s slippery slope right from the start, since 30 years ago: UECNA continues to be faithful to the FAITH AND MORALS codified in the Scriptures and Apostolic Tradition. The 1928 Book of Common Prayer is what we use in the worship, adhering to the theology and liturgy and all the great time honored values that they entail. UECNA is Biblically Sound, Sacramentally Orthodox and Apostolically Valid. We will continue serving the Lord until His Second Coming.
May His blessings be with you as you stand up for the truth. And the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
