Has The Anglican Communion Compromised Doctrinal Purity In Favor of Corporate Unity?

See Above Question. And, if so... is that a bad thing?

In general the American Anglican church (Episcopalians) are very liberal in their interpretations of scripture. Keep in mind that this is a generalization and you should talk to each person about their personal beliefs.

The liberal perspective on scripture is that it is not God breathed but an attempt by man to get other people to believe what they believe. In general, the conservative Christian will have very little middle ground for discussion with a liberal Christian.

To answer your question, if you are a liberal question then no they haven't because it's all about fluffy love. If you are a conservative Christian, then yes they have because it's all about strict doctrine.

I find myself somewhere in the middle...

Yes. The last I heard, huge portions of the Anglican Communion were breaking off and realigning under more conservative Primates. With Schori (a woman who referred to our Lord as "our Mother Jesus") at the helm of ECUSA , and the insistence on widening the narrow gate and broadening the narrow way, it seems to me that the hour of decision has long passed. As far as I know, it hasn't been confirmed that the CoE is getting ready to resubmit to Rome, but that would certainly take the heat off of Williams and others who aren't sure of where they should stand. To my thinking, if a person isn't willing to deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Christ, they shouldn't be appointed leaders in the church. Many church leaders today believe that we have evolved beyond dependence on scripture and it's now pretty much a spiritual free for all. Is it a bad thing? I think this is what Paul was speaking of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 - "Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction..." where the "it" that "will not come unless" is the second coming. So yeah, I think it's bad because I think it's part of the apostasy. Does unity mean we can't have any standards?

Yes they have. They are in the process of re-uniting with the Roman Catholic Church under the authority of the Pope. As a Protestant Christian, I do say that this is a horrible thing. They are giving up on doctrines that they came up with to combat Roman Catholicisim in the 16Th Century during the Reformation, and now are deciding to go back on those beliefs. I think that Henry VIII (damn Roman numerals!) is rolling over in his grave on this one because the Roman Catholics didn't want him to divorce his wife, so he came up with his own church. Thomas Cranmer, the author of the book of common prayer, and James I (easier Roman numeral there, you only need one) would also join him in grave rolling over. This is a sad day for all Protestants to see fellow brothers and sisters in the fight against Roman Catholic tyranny give in so easily to the other side, basically surrendering themselves after so long a fight, when so many have died in this fight for what they believe to be true. The Roman Catholics rely fully on the authority of the Bishop of Rome, aka the Pope, and not on Jesus. They also worship Mary as the fourth person of the Trinity, which is a theological heresy if you believe the Creed of Nicea and Constantinople of 325-381AD, which says that only God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are of the same substance, meaning only those three persons are God and there is no fourth. The Anglican Church, with its doctrines during the English Reformation, deny these two core beliefs of Roman Catholicism. Thus, if they are to say they are re-uniting with Roman Catholics, they are basically peeing all over the doctrines of the English Reformation, which they have for centuries (since the 1600s) believed to be true doctrines of the Christian faith. Thus, they would be denying the Christian faith. So, in conclusion, the Anglican Communion is compromising doctrinal purity in favor of corporate unity, which is not in accordance with true Christian beliefs.
