I disagree with Marek Zabriskie when he writes "sola scripture, scripture alone ... has never been the Anglican way of understanding the world." Article VI of the Articles Of Religion states: "Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the Faith ..." I do not appreciate any attacks on the Church of Rwanda, furthermore, or any other "conservative" churches in the Anglican Communion. So many of our third-world partner churches in the Anglican Communion are just that - "conservative," and "conservative" is an acceptable expression of Anglican faith and practice. This expression doesn't demean women in itself. (The Rev.) Douglas A. Puckett St. Paul's Church Graniteville, S.C. |
