As part of the ACoC’s Vision 2019, Fred Hiltz has asked people to “tell their stories”<\/em>. The stories are being published on the Vision 2019 site<\/a>.

In the meantime, here is another interesting comment<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Where is my Church now?<\/p>\n

It is lost in the wilderness of secular society, trying to fit in. It has forgotten that Jesus Christ is not of this world, and neither is His Church. By trying to fit in to this world, the Anglican Church of Canada has moved away from Jesus Christ. Like the tree that bears bad fruit, it is being cut down and cast into the fire. Like the worthless servant, what treasure it was trusted with is being taken away.<\/p>\n

What would I like my Church to do?<\/p>\n

1. Get rid of the Book of Alternate Services, and use exclusively the Book of Common Prayer.<\/p>\n

2. Remove from the Priesthood all homosexuals and women. Put an end to woman ordination. Require all Clergy, Priests, Deacons, and Bishops to be “a man of but one wife”, along with all of the other requirements given in 1 Timothy 3.<\/p>\n

3. Remove from the Priesthood any and all persons who do not publically acknowledge Jesus Christ to be Devine, Resurrected (and that includes in body), and the one and only way to salvation.<\/p>\n

4. No longer recognize any so called “marriages” or divorces performed by the courts of the secular government. Recognize only the marriages that were performed by a Priest in a Church, and only those divorces in which one of the spouses committed a sexually immoral act.<\/p>\n

5. Define marriage as “an Act of God in which God Himself joins a man to his wife”.<\/p>\n

6. Concentrate on following and obeying the Teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Word of God (that being the Holy Bible in its entirety). Spread His Holy Word to all who might hear it. Stop wasting time, effort, and resources on the Millennium Development Goals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
