At this time in the life of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, faced with a faulty view of revelation, false teaching and indiscipline, we believe that it is necessary to set out where we as orthodox Anglicans stand, and to invite others to join us. If Communion is finally broken by some with The Episcopal Church, there will be those in the Church of England who will continue publicly to express their strong support for TEC. This will put many parishes and clergy who are in their charge in impossible situations.

Reflections on poverty and climate change

Before I became a priest, I was a professor of oceanography. One of
the things I learned was that oceanographers couldn’t just study
squid or fish in isolation. We had to study interconnected systems.
We had to understand not only the animals’ environment, such as the
water, but its chemistry and circulation, the atmosphere above the
ocean and the geology below it. And that, I believe, is how we must
understand our world: We must see everything, and everyone, as
interconnected and intended by God to live in relationship.
Two of the most significant crises facing our world — climate change
and deadly poverty — offer an example of such interconnectedness.

One night in 1985, when he was 17 years old, Tramel played a role in the stabbing death of a homeless man named Michael Stephenson. A prep school roommate, David Kurtzman, wielded the knife that killed Stephenson while Tramel stood by. Tramel got 15 years to life; Kurtzman got an additional year for use of the weapon. The youths had sought retaliation against gang members who had roughed up some classmates. Stephenson, who wasn’t involved, became their target.

In his op-ed column, “Missionaries in Northern Virginia,” Michael Gerson of The Washington Post did Christians in the developing world a disservice by assuming that leaders such as Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria have their best interests at heart.
