St. Columba's Anglican Church is not affiliated with the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA). We are part of the Anglican Church in America and we hold to the traditional faith and worship practice of the Anglican heritage.
Our faith comes from Jesus Christ the Son of God, the teachings of the Bible, the undivided Church and the ancient Creeds and Councils. Through these things we are given the way, the truth, and the life.
Church politics, lobbies, legislation, and secular pressures are powerful things that can and do affect attitudes, belief's and outcomes. They have no place in the Church, for they are not of the Holy Spirit, but are of human origin. God, in His economy, His love, and His mercy, is where we look for affirmation and blessing, not in church legislation.
We all need conversion, patriarchs, prelates, and people and we find this only in Jesus, in the saving grace of His sacraments, and in a life of prayer. Conversion of heart, is where we find God's approval, not by way of church-approved legislation that runs counter to the deposit of Catholic faith given to the Church.
Throughout time and society, people have challenged the Church, thinking that present values are wiser than those of the past. This kind of thinking has become commonplace in some churches today. They seek to reject and redefine the teachings of the Church in order to fit with current trends.
We live in a deeply divided and troubled society and it is sometimes hard to navigate spiritually and emotionally, we should pray for one another, so that all may find and know the truth of Jesus Christ.
