Anglican Province of America Diocese of the West Joins Reformed Episcopal Church By David W. Virtue www.virtueonline.org 9/7/2008 In a move that could have serious implications for the Common Cause Partnership, an entire diocese of the Anglican Province of America with some 22 plus churches has fled that Anglican jurisdiction and allied itself with the Reformed Episcopal Church in America (REC). "I pray that you will understand that we are not leaving the APA out of any anger but are entering into the REC so we can fulfill what we have been working on for the past ten years. By transferring to the REC we remain in intercommunion with each other and still brothers," wrote the Rt. Rev. Richard Boyce, OCD Bishop of the Diocese of the West (DOW/ APA.) ...

The media is abuzz about a suggestion made by a Church of England spokesman that it should apologize for initially opposing Darwinian evolution back in Darwin's day. An Associated Press article in the International Herald Tribune says that "[t]he Church did not take an official stand against Darwin's theories, but many senior Anglicans reacted with hostility to his ideas, arguing against them at public debates." The example given is the account of Bishop Wilberforce: "At a University of Oxford debate in 1860, the bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, famously asked scientist Thomas Huxley whether it was through his grandfather or his grandmother that he claimed to be descended from a monkey." According to the legend, Huxley reportedly replied that he would "rather have an ape for an ancestor than a bishop." This has led to claims that Huxley vanquished Wilberforce, who in legend is reported to have said, "The Lord hath delivered him into mine hands." But how much truth is in this legend? In an essay titled " Darwinism and Religion: A Revisionist View of the Wilberforce-Huxley Debate ," John Hedley Brooke, Professor of Science & Religion at Oxford University, argues, "One answer to the question why this celebrated exchange occurred at all is that it didn't - or at least that the legend is deeply misleading." According to Brooke this legend "probably was invented -at least in part." Brooke continues: In fact, the more closely we lo ...

An American bishop claims that the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, is seeking to make an openly gay, partnered bishop the next Bishop of Bagor in Wales. In an Aug 29 letter to members of the American Anglican Council (AAC) and CANA, the Rt Rev David Anderson said the Church in Wales would likely be the first province to break the Lambeth moratorium on gay bishops. "Wales is in an election process for Bishop of Bangor and the election has as one of its still-secret nominees none other than Jeffrey John," Bishop Anderson said. The Very Rev Jeffrey John is currently Dean of St Albans. Last month the Archbishop of Wales, the Most Rev. Dr. Barry Morgan told the Sunday Telegraph he would support the election of a gay bishop in Wales. "If a priest had a [same-sex] partner and someone nominated them that wouldn't be a bar to them becoming a bishop," he said in an interview published on July 13. ...
