IS TEC ON A WAYWARD PATH?

Check in at Openly Episcopal in Albany to read the post titled, Former Bishop Savages TEC, on the opinion column in the Richmond Times-Dispatch by retired Suffragan Bishop David Bena of Albany, who departed from the Episcopal Church.

The painful irony is that TEC's decision to reject the authority of God's Word has been gravely injurious, and has itself caused the very division that TEC's leaders claimed they sought to avoid. Once someone rejects Scripture, then they reject Jesus Christ and Christianity as a whole. It's as simple as that. We could not follow a national body that rejected the very Word of God.

Strong words indeed from Bishop Bena, who continues to speak to groups and preside over Eucharists at the Spiritual Life Center of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany.
