“Episcopalian Faith Oath Causes Rift” – AP Story

From an Associated Press story:

Episcopalians who want to attend an upcoming conference will be asked to sign a faith oath before entering, a requirement that has split Episcopalians across south Georgia.

To attend in the conference, called “Reclaiming the Faith, Rebuilding the House of God,” churchgoers will have to sign a statement on faith written by the American Anglican Council, a national orthodox church group.

Among other things, the pledge includes accepting “unchanging biblical revelation,” acceptance of the sanctity of life “from conception to natural death” and, for all single people, a vow of “abstinence from sexual intercourse.” The pledge is called “A Place To Stand.”
