Challenges

We need to work together to affirm our traditional, historic values and teachings in a climate of severe drift in the Church. Just look at these illustrations of the direction of our Church:

• Our Presiding Bishop teaches that the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit is claiming that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation
• In effect there is now "local option" on the blessing of same sex relationships.
• The two most recent General Conventions of the Church have rejected the affirmation of traditional teaching on the Creeds and the role that Jesus plays in salvation.
• Contrary to the clear directive of Scripture prohibiting lawsuits between Christians, the Presiding Bishop and dioceses are filing lawsuits against parishes and clergy whose members no longer feel that they can remain under the authority of the Episcopal Church.

If you are in favor of retaining the apostolic "faith once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3) in the Episcopal Church, pray, make your views known to others, and join our work to preserve the faith that has been handed down to us through countless generations. By working together we can ensure that the Diocese of the Rio Grande continues to teach the traditional Christian faith.
