My Predictions. My Warnings. My Call to You.
2-5-2007 · Rowan Williams will ultimately side with the Global South. Or, more accurately, he will not go to bat for an apostate and unrepentant Episcopal Church. Williams has to know by now that he will go down in history: Either as the man who saved the communion from disintegration, or the man who let it all come apart.

Tanzania: Expectations, Promises, and the Danger of Impotence
1-30-2007 · When Eli failed to discipline his sons, the Ark of the Covenant was taken from Israel and God allowed his people to fall to their enemies. When David failed first to discipline Amnon for raping Tamar and then Absalom for murdering Amnon, his kingdom was rent. If the leaders of the Anglican communion fail to discipline the Episcopal Church not only for “breaking the bonds of affection” but, more importantly, for defying the Word of the living God, then you will see Windsor and Network dioceses begin to crumble as many of the strongest parishes realize that the Communion is toothless and that the Windsor “process” is just that…an endless process leading nowhere…and depart.

Why the Elephant is Important
1-24-2007 · Faith for this Mormon had become wholly experiential and subjective. He would not trust history or science. In fact, he could trust little else other than his perception of God’s personal revelation and the fact that his experience of this revelation is shared by the entire Mormon community. This sort of faith is, in my mind, not unlike to the sort of Christian faith held by many western believers. We believe in Jesus because he has revealed himself personally to us and when we worship together and read his Word we sense the Holy Spirit. These things are true. I know them and I feel them too.
