Ask Doug: Why aren’t you an Anglican?

canonwired — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:14:25 +0000

In this Ask Doug segment, Pastor Wilson answers the question:

“Pastor Doug, your teaching and emphasis on covenant has really helped to impress upon me the catholicity (universal nature not popery) of Christ’s church. My family and I have found a nice biblically faithful Anglican church near us which we are considering joining. What is your take on traditional reformed Anglicanism and why aren’t you an Anglican? Also, what do you with Apostolic succession, laying on of hands, and all that stuff?”

Ask Doug: Is West the Right Direction for Classical Christian Education?

canonwired — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:07:48 +0000

In this Ask Doug segment, Pastor Wilson responds to a question regarding classical Christian education and its emphasis on Western though and languages: “I would imagine you have read James Jordan’s The Case Against Western Civilization and I wanted to get your take on his analysis and proposals for education (i.e. Hebrew instead of Latin, Music equal with Literature, Tobit and Judith, Shakespeare and Austin, Moliere and Dostoievski, Scott and Stevenson instead of Homer or Hesiod, Sophocles or Euripides, Livy or Plutarch, Mark Twain or Artur Rimbaud). Thanks for your time.”
