ARCHIVE UPDATED – PLANS FOR 2013
As the end of 2012 approaches and there is much ado in the Church of England we have updated the free Archive Pages so that all recent editions are available including the current edition. This will not be kept up to date in 2013 so now is a good time to have a look through some recent editions and consider a subscription to the paper copy for 2013 which we hope to continue to send out every two weeks.
WOMEN BISHOP CRISIS SCANDAL
While the news that the Church of England has been stopped from consecrating Women Bishops is good news, it comes from a church that is already in a terrible state. There are many implications that have not been addressed in the puerile feminist secular media, some of which will be explored, God willing, in the next edition of English Churchman which is due out on Friday 30th November. It is an incredibly low price of £0.40 to order from your local newsagent NOW.
A very good new look and so well arranged. The archive of past issues is a joy to explore.
Very well done.
Thank you Stewart. There is much to do to make it easier for people to find the articles that will help them most.
Hi,
To-day, I attended the morning service at St.Mary’s Reading and met Bishop David Samuel. He still keep on stressing upon sins when we are no more slaves to sins but righteousness. Only anti-Christs talk about sins and want to drag people back to the old Brick Built houses made by human hands where a Priest is required to serve you or rather admonish you under the pretext of sins and the laws. Jesus gave his life as Lamb of God to establish us into our New Home, the Temple of God built not by human hands but by Nature.
So, if your Bishop is Anti-Christ, then what about the rests, who cannot give the accounts of people to God?
Any more Conferences or event coming up near Reading or overseas in Europe?
Thank you Rajinder,
“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8. The Apostle John was not the only apostle to talk much about sin. Just read Romans chapter 7. Yet it is not a human priest that takes away our sins, but rather the Lord Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
The conference of the Church of England (Continuing) is on Saturday 30th June at Benson, God willing.
Sincerely
Rev Peter Ratcliff
Peter,
This website is excellent and useful for back issues of EC.
Warm regards
Thanks Raymond,
The website does indeed consist mainly of back issues of English Churchman.
While we appreciate encouragement and genuine inquiries on the website we are not like the secular press. Our guidelines for posting are completely different. For example, while we will of course not publish abusive comments etc, we certainly do not suffer from the phobia of phobias that is a guise for political correctness. Therefore we will not publish views that condone immorality or false religion.
Rather we PREACH the TRUTH as it is in Jesus.
We WARN against false teachers and false religions.
Above all, we LOVE our enemies.
Acts 20:29-31: “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”
Romans 16:17,18: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”
Ephesians 5:11: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
2 John 10,11: “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
Therefore just as all good churches “guard the pulpit” and only allow trusted men to preach, so we believe it is our solemn duty to ensure that neither the English Churchman printed nor this website is for the publication of open discussion. By all means we will attempt to answer questions as time allows but we generally do this through editions of the newspaper, but above all through preaching. We recommend that readers are part of a bible believing reformed church and do not use the internet as a kind of “virtual church”. Except in extreme cases, such is not God’s way. He has made us to get to know one another and that includes the observation of people “face to face” and explains why the Ephesians wept because they were to see Paul no more.
Acts 20:36-38: “And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more.”
Good responses Peter to those within the House of Commons on the issue of women bishops.
It is such a disgrace how they brand and identify the faithful few – we need a few Christians to
raise their voices. Political Correctness matters nothing yet faithfulness to God’s word is the
acid test. We face a mighty battle UK wide to preserve Marriage within the laws of our nation,
oh that churches and indeed evangelicals would awaken from their slumber on such grave issues.
Great paper standing for the Gospel and the Glory of God in Christ. Peter, keep up the good work. Billy
