Episcopal Evangelicals

Most people would think that

the term, “Episcopalian Evangelicals”

is an oxymoron, and that such

persons really cannot exist.

Not so, quite a few are

alive and well and singularly

untroubled by the ambiguity

of their position in their church.

First, there are the ancients,

those lifelong Episcopalians

who cling to a local parish

that they know and love.

It is not that they have

accepted the progressive

theology of the denomination,

they simply ignore it.

In some parts of the country,

notably New England,

there are few alternatives

to the Episcopal liturgy.

Therefore, our evangelicals

show up in Episcopal churches

to worship God and participate

in the community activities.

Greater numbers of

Episcopal Evangelicals

are found in traditional

parishes and dioceses.

Their parishioners take

the position of the leaders

of same who are committed

to traditional beliefs.

Then there are those clergy

who cling to their positions

in order to protect their

lifelong Episcopal pensions.

We cannot be critical of

any of these Evangelicals

because they represent a

stand against apostasy.
