COMMENTARYBy David W. Virtue, DDJanuary 25, 2025We should respond to Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde's desperate rantings at Donald Trump with one big collective yawn, wrote one blogger. He has a point. Her rant at the newly elected president was predictable.

COMMENTARYBy David W. Virtue, DDJanuary 21, 2025It is time to boldly state the truth. The Anglican Communion, as it is presently constructed is finished. What we have now is unsustainable. Attempts to reconfigure, revive, restate, reconstruct and reconstitute the Anglican Communion have simply failed. The departure of Archbishops Justin Welby, John Sentamu, George Carey, and one hopes Stephen Cottrell, were signposts of failure along the way.

Welby's flippant Apology in Farewell Speech Fails the Test of AuthenticitySmyth's abuse victims dismayed and disgusted by archbishop's speechBy David W. Virtue, DDwww.virtueonline.orgDecember 6, 2024Once again, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has shown himself to be a markedly poor leader in a trite farewell speech in the House of Lords that was more jovial than penitent.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. Welby became a symptom of the church’s wider malaise, one headline opined. The moment it finally fell apart for Welby was his failure to uphold Lambeth Resolution 1:10 at the last Lambeth Conference. He hemmed and hawed and chose climate change to pin his hopes of unity on. It was a debacle. Poor Global South Anglicans still burn wood, not to mention that they’re burning dung which richer nations use.
