" ACNA's Provincial Meeting Journal is out and it shows ACNA talking out of both sides of its mouth on the filioque, a doctrine central to all of Western Christendom. The draft liturgies in this document contain a Nicene Creed that reads:"
" We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. "
" The footnote to this reads:"
" The filioque clause "and the Son" may be added here. It is not included in the text above for ecumenical purposes, in accordance with the 1978 Lambeth Conference, though the ACNA does not disagree with the theology of the filioque. "Read the rest here.

Let's see. They don't doctrinally affirm the first seven Ecumenical Councils. (We can leave #s 8 & 9 aside for now.) They permit and to some degree embrace Calvinism. And they claim to ordain women. But they want us to know that they are thinking about dropping the Filioque.
Sorry guys. You are still Protestants.Syndicated by Atom
