The Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast's Episcopal election is a microcosm of the wider problem we're having in the ACNA. And this stems from the fact that we have buried the riches of our tradition, not from the fact that we don't have them. This video uses the Episcopal election as a case study of the wider problem we're having, and I suggest a solution going forward.

In this episode, I seek to continue the conversation about the questions raised in the debate and answer questions I don't think I adequately did so. In this video, I give a defense of why the Incarnation measures everything else uniquely, and so why all other miracles need to be assessed for consistency with the Incarnation.

In this video, I upload the lectures for the Anglican Catechetical Initiative on The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I hope this is helpful to you!

In this episode, I uphold the historic Anglican view of a male presbytery (ordination to the episcopate and the priesthood). I ground it in a doctrine of Christ and the Church. I hope this is helpful to you!

In this video, I give an account of why Anglicans believe in Branch Theory and why we're not schismatics from the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

In this video, I tackle the common charge that Anglicans have no consistent way to tell what we need to believe to be saved. I show why that isn't true.

In this video, I document the antiquity of the Anglican position on the Eucharist and show how it fits with the nature of redemption in general. The Anglican Eucharist is an icon of the world's redemption.

In this podcast episode, I cover how Rome botched their declaration that Anglican orders are "absolutely null and utterly void." The research done dramatically failed to represent Anglican thinking validly.

In this video, I respond to the notion that skepticism is what follows if one denies the infallibility of the Church or the Church's ability to infallibly propose what is a matter of Divine Faith. I define the terms "Divine Faith", "Rule of Faith", and Divine Revelation. I hope this helps!

Fudge's article: https://www.brrp.org/proceedings/brrp...

In this video, I show that Christ is infinitely more lovely than sin is ugly. I argue that because of this--because the life of Christ, in the smallest degree, outshines the ugliness of your sin--that life is a compensation that outweighs the ugliest sin to whatever degree it dwells in you.

This podcast is a generated reading of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, Book IV. I unfortunately could not get read of footnotes, so you'll have to bear with those.

In this podcast, I respond to the claim that we shouldn't want eternity. This video was inspired by an article written by a friend of mine from college, found here: https://medium.com/excommunications/y... I hope this is helpful to you.

The crux of my answer is this: in eternity, as we experience new vistas of God's beauty, it opens up new sensibilities and new tastes. That matches our present experiences of beauty right now, where experiences of beauty open up new vistas. And as we press ever onward into the beauty of things, and see more of the excess deep down in things, we will find ever more capacity to see and follow the call of that excess upward and inward into the life of God.

In this conversation, Thomist Theologian Taylor Patrick O'Neill and I address the Problem of Evil. I hope this is a helpful podcast episode in your thinking about the matter!

Many Roman Catholics today misrepresent the classic teaching of purgatory to make it more palatable to Protestants. Here, I show how.

In this video, I trace the tragic history of clerical celibacy and why it called for a Reform in the theology of magisterial authority. I hope this is helpful to you!

While Rome has made progress in overruling the use of the title of Mary as "Co-Redemptrix", the theology behind it remains problematic. Here, I explain why.

This is a recorded meeting of the Anglican Catechetical Initiative for the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, book 2! I hope this is helpful to you!

Herbert helps us think about what the Eucharist means from an Anglican perspective!

In this video, I raise 7 arguments against Roman Catholicism from an Anglican perspective. I put this up on my channel on Reformation Day, but I thought I might put it here as well.

Good works are not merely signs of our salvation, but the way God prepares us to inherit the kingdom. In this podcast, I trace the traditional Anglican doctrine of justification, union with Christ, and salvation.

This podcast episode is an AI generated summary of Richard Hooker's Book 2 of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I will upload the audio reading of the Laws shortly!

The AI Summary:

"The provided text, "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity Book II", presents a systematic theological argument against the Puritan belief that Scripture is the only rule for all human actions in this life. The author meticulously examines and refutes several scriptural proofs brought forth by those urging reform, including passages from Proverbs, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, and Romans, to demonstrate that God directs human behavior through multiple kinds of laws, not solely through divine command in the Bible. A significant portion of the text addresses arguments from negative authority (what is not commanded is sin), showing how such logic is frequently misused and that both natural reason and human authority are necessary, even in matters of faith, without undermining the perfection of Scripture as a guide to salvation. Ultimately, the author concludes that the strict Puritan position creates a snare and torment for weak consciences, leading to an unsound legalism that rejects actions directed by natural light and common discretion."
