Anglicanism is good, actually. Not as good as Presbyterianism. But still.
There a lot to be said here but, maybe, the most important is its beyond sad to see the breadth and lattitude of our forms and circumstances in worship as a weakness. This is the one body of Christ after all.

Lots of guys want to have Keller level influence without talking about Jesus like Keller did.
Robert’s Rules of Order prohibits negative insinuations about others’ motivations, a disposition that has often been called “suspicion.” The moral tradition opposing “suspicion” in this sense extends at least as far back as Augustine. It was lost in the 20th century and…
No matter how often he makes this claim, Stephen Wolfe’s ethno-state style of Christian Nationalism is not classical Protestant political theology.
From a good friend and conscientious presbyter who effectively captures the personal and parliamentary dynamics of what happened with Tim Brindle and Kevin DeYoung—long story short is that Wilson & Co. are woefully ignorant of what went down: ### begin paste ### I don't…
