Yes, the church, in America especially but everywhere, needs an old fashioned REVIVAL!
No, not the rolling around, running around, barking, or (gag) holy laughing kind. I am talking really old fashioned. We need a revival along and within the lines noted by Bishop Lancelot Andrewes:
One canon reduced to writing by God himself, two testaments, three creeds, four general councils, five centuries, and the series of Fathers in that period – the centuries that is, before Constantine, and two after, determine the boundary of our faith.

Yes, we need some boundaries, these boundaries, instead of chasing after every cloying putrid “wind of doctrine.”
What prompts this brief rant will become evident in due time. Stay tuned.
