NATIONAL RESPONSE TO "LORD IS FADING AT SOME CHURCHES"/ ARIZONA DAILY STAR/ 22 APRIL 2007

2007-04-24T06:09:00.000-07:00

THE
ORTHODOX ANGLICAN CHURCH
Archdiocesan Office of Communications

We have read the article "'Lord' is fading at some churches" and are saddened by the views expressed by some ministers and clergy that promote "gender-neutral" and "politically correct" views of God, the Father, and of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
These views are clearly at odds with the Holy Scriptures, with the Creeds, and with the teachings of the Church for approximately 2,000 years.
We assert that the name “Lord” is entirely appropriate for the Saviour of the world, who said of Himself, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” (Matthew 28:18-19, NRSV) This self-description alone puts Him on a higher plane than mankind and the command that followed was certainly not “gender-neutral”.
Around 250BC, the Hebrew Old Testament was translated into Greek. The use of the word “kyrios” as applied to the Deity meant “Lord God”. This reference was used countless times. The Apostles shared this same understanding. In Acts of the Apostles 2:36, St. Peter said, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord (kyrios) and Christ” (KJV). In the Jewish understanding of that period, the use of the word definitely referred to the Divine.
St. Peter’s sermon also indicates not only the understanding that Christ is Lord, it also indicates that Christ’s death and resurrection is the means to our forgiveness of sins.
The simple fact is that Christianity is a monarchy, not a democracy or an “individualistic” faith. Neither God the Father nor God the Son are "one of us". The Bible teaches us that moulding God to fit our image of what is comfortable is akin to creating our own personal God and is, therefore, idolatrous. The relationship between Father/Son and mankind is that of master/parent and servant/child. At some point,
this relationship results in judgment and in punishment or reward. At no point in Scripture can we accurately translate the relationship to be anything other than this. A prime example is when St. Paul said that “it is appointed once for man to die and then comes the judgment.” In Revelation 22:12 (KJV), the Lord said, “And behold, I come quickly and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be….” This reference indicates a hierarchical being with the power to reward or condemn.
At the time we read this article, the online poll indicated 80% of respondents did not believe genderneutral language should be used when referring to God. We are heartened by this. Likewise, we share the view of the two Presbyterian ministers quoted that He is, indeed, Lord, Master, and King.
Our parish in Tucson, St. Jude's Anglican Church, and the entire Orthodox Anglican Communion proudly proclaim that Jesus is Lord and we uphold the teachings of Holy Scripture, the classic Creeds of Christendom, and two millennia of Christian teachings. We profess authentic Christianity, as opposed to the counterfeit faith put forward by some ministers and clergy in this article.

RESPONSE TO EPISCOPAL ELECTION

2006-06-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

ARCHEPISCOPAL RESPONSE TO ECUSA’S ELECTION AND AGENDA
A statement fromArchbishop Scott McLaughlin
Presiding Bishop of The Orthodox Anglican ChurchMetropolitan and Primate of The Orthodox Anglican Communion

The election of a woman as presiding bishop, the ongoing attempt to ignore the sin of homosexuality, and the declared priorities for social issues are clearly at odds with teachings of the Bible, the Early Church, and the historic Anglican faith. Most certainly they are in conflict with our mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
While we acknowledge that women provided support to Christ in His earthly ministry and even owned homes in which worship was held, it also should be acknowledged, from the establishment of the Church in the first century, that the responsibility for the formation and government of the Church was only entrusted to men called to Holy Orders and led by the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge the remarkable role of women as doctors, attorneys, politicians, mothers, and uphold their supportive roles in Christ’s Church. But, clearly, the clerical roles of deacon, priest, and bishop were, and are, given only to men.
The teachings of the Bible on sin and on the consequences of sin are quite clear. The Scriptures clearly state that homosexuality is a sin. Mankind did not define this as a sin, neither can mankind erase this as a sin. We believe, as the Bible teaches, that while we are to love the sinner, we are to hate the sin.
While the teachings of Jesus clearly demand a connection between the Gospel and such issues as hunger and poverty, many denominations and churches have chosen to focus on social issues. From immigrant rights to environmental affairs, the priorities in the Episcopal Church of the United States, and others, are not the mission given us by Jesus Christ. The only mission Christ gave us was, and remains, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no Gospel of the Environment, there is no Gospel of Political Action. Adherence to and completion of this only command, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, will erase all concerns of environment, justice, and policy, because Christ’s teachings will have convicted all people to live and act according to His holy will.
We call upon the Episcopal Church to join us in standing true to the teachings of the Bible, the original teachings of the Early Church, and the original teachings of The Church of England.

ABOUT US.... CONTINUED.

2006-03-17T08:09:00.000-08:00

The Orthodox Anglican Church in America and the Orthodox Anglican Communion overseas in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America practice the Ancient Ways of the Faith instituted by Jesus Christ, through the Holy Apostles and brought to The Mother Church of England in the earliest days of the church.

It is the Faith "once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). We have returned to the doctrine and practices of the Early Christian Church without Roman additions or Protestant subtractions, as the Communion was established in 1967.
The OAC was established in the 1960's to provide safe haven for the thousands around the world who seek the OLD PATHS of the Holy Church.

"We have returned to the Apostles and the old Catholic Fathers. We have planted no new religion but only preserved the old that was undoubtedly founded and used by the Apostles of Christ and other holy Fathers of the Primitive Church." John Jewel 1562.

Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."
