We have seen the Apostolic Constitution issued by the Holy See regarding full communion with Rome and are discerning a next step.<BR><BR><font color="red">Please remember that we must pray and work to stop the wholesale slaughter of unborn babies.

Saint Columba's affirms the faith catholic as it has been received in matters of the historic male priesthood, the sanctity of marriage between man and woman and the traditional title of God our <I>Father</I> as spoken by Jesus in his teaching and prayer. There is an effort by some to silence Christians when speaking of the morality of people who wish election to governmental offices. Nonetheless, Saint Columba's supports those who adhere to unchanged Christian values. We did not make the rules; God did! We just let people know what the rules are. As a result, Saint Columba's thrives as a traditional expression of the Church Anglican.<BR><BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://www.usy.org/images/summer2003/bus_h/p_desert2.jpg"><br><br><B><font size="+3">Christianity is an Historical Religion.</B></font size>.<br><BR>The above picture is a reminder that Christianity is not an uninvolved philosophy but a down-to-earth way of life that has been passed on from father to son with the guidance of the Church for 2000 years. Christianity did not evolve from western culture; but rather western civilization is a product of Christendom! The primary reason that Western Civilization is this planet's successful culture is Jesus Christ and his Church. History teaches that Christianity was brought as far west as Britain by St. Joseph of Arimathea about the year AD 37 (fewer than ten years after Jesus' death, Resurrection and Ascension); archeology shows that a Christian church building was built on the British isle prior to AD 100. We know that the Church on Britain sent bishops to a general church council in AD 314. One can conclude from historical evidence that the independent heritage of the British Church goes back more than 1,900 years.<BR><BR>The Church in England entered into communion with the bishop of Rome between AD 597 and AD 1215, but for political reasons, and amidst the tumult of the Protestant Reformation on the European Continent, the Church of England again became self-governing in 1531.<BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/anim/cross/cross.gif"><BR><BR><BR>The Church of England planted itself in North America in 1587, and became the <I>Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States</I>. Eleven presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and George Bush (#41) have been members. Even the form of the traditional American marriage ceremony comes from the Anglican <I>Book of Common Prayer</I>. The prayer book's haunting lilt and the <I>King James Bible</I> are also products of Anglican scholarship. For centuries the Anglican Way stood on the three legs of 1) Scripture, 2) Reason, and 3) Tradition. However, in 1976 The <I>Episcopal Church USA</I> departed from Apostolic Tradition by unilaterally deciding that it was possible to "ordain" women as priests; in 1979 it published a prayer book that emasculated male-oriented language and deleted politically incorrect sections of Scripture from its daily readings; in 2003 it approved the election to bishop of a divorced man who was actively engaged in sodomite behavior. The Episcopal Missionary Church became a jurisdiction in the <I>Anglican Continuum</I> in 1991 to support efforts that continue the Anglican Way in the Americas as it <I>had</I> been prior to "modernization".<BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://www.emchome.org/site/1/images/bishop.jpg"><BR><BR><H5>Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Missionary Church, William Millsaps</H5> <BR><BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/cross/Maltese.gif"><BR><B><font size="+3">The Episcopal Missionary Church is Sacramental</B></font size>.<BR><BR> From the beginning Christianity has been a sacramental religion. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, ordained seven Sacraments for His people: <I>Baptism</I>, by which men are made living members of His body and are grafted into His new eternal life; and <I>Holy Communion</I>, through which we are sustained by His grace as we endeavor to be faithful soldiers and servants in this world. Baptism and Holy Eucharist are generally necessary for the grace of salvation for all. Five more Sacraments [<I>Confirmation, Confession, Matrimony, Ordination and Extreme Unction</I>], are received according to one's state and need.<BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://www.renegaderadio.org/data/renegade_gallery_images/Wedding%20day.jpg"><br><BR><IMG SRC="/art/cross/Maltese.gif"><BR><BR><B><font size="+3">The Episcopal Missionary Church worships God rather than Man.<BR></B></font size>.<BR><BR>In corporate worship the congregation is made up of participants...not spectators. The service of worship is not unlike that mentioned by Luke in the <I>Acts of Apostles</I>. This ancient and liturgy contains more Scripture in an hour than the average <I>evangelical</I> service presents in a year. The building: altar, vestments and furnishings proclaim the Lord in the beauty of holiness...our offering of our best to God, who transforms that offering into Himself; which He returns to us for our advancement toward salvation.<BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/anim/misc/book.gif"><BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/cross/Maltese.gif"><BR><BR><B><font size="+3">Saint Columba's is a parish of Spirit and Service</B></font size>.<BR><BR>Members are reminded to be the hands and feet of our Lord</A> on earth. We are members of the Body of Christ and must live our life for God through the men and women we meet. Although we expect that we can show simplicity in our Christian walk, we realize that laughter and happiness are gifts from God to be enjoyed as we share our faith. We teach that Christians are in the world but not of the world. We are not walled up in a holy cocoon but are here to love and serve God above all and foster the coming of his Kingdom, through prayer, through works, through evangelism, and through the political process too.<BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://www.emchome.org/site/1/images/logo.jpg"><BR><BR>Saint Columba's, as a parish in the <A HREF="http://www.emchome.org">Episcopal Missionary Church</A>, is in full sacramental communion with many of the jurisdictions listed below:<center><br><br><a href="http://www.americananglicanchurch.org/">American Anglican Church</A>; American Independent Old Catholic Church; Anglican Church of Columbia; <A HREF="http://united-episcopal.org/">United Episcopal Church of North America</A>; <A HREF="http://www.acahome.org/">Anglican Church in America</A> (ACA); <A HREF="http://www.zeuter.com/~accc"> Anglican Catholic Church of Canada</A>; <A HREF="http://anglicanprovince.org">Anglican Province of America</A>; <A HREF="http://eoc.orthodoxanglican.net">Episcopal Orthodox Church</A>; Murray Diocese in Australia; Province of Latin America; the Charismatic Episcopal Church, and the <A HREF="http://www.acahome.org/tac/index.htm">Traditional Anglican Communion</A>.<BR><BR>If you are a member of a jurisdiction listed above, you are invited to join the fellowship that gave birth to and fosters unity in the Anglican Continuum:<BR><A HREF="http://www.anglicanchurches.net/index.html">The Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen,</A><BR><BR><IMG SRC="http://www.renegaderadio.org/data/renegade_gallery_images/bauer-cullen08.JPG"><BR><H5>Fr Odhran-Mary (left) and Fr Raymond Cullen (right) behind the pulpit and in a corner.</H5><BR><BR>You may want to communicate with some of your friends through the link list below.<BR><BR><A HREF=http://www.netministries.org/see/churches/ch09065>Anglican Chapel of Christ the King</a>;<BR><A HREF=http://www.sacredheartfranciscans.org>Franciscan Order of the Sacred Heart</A>;<BR><A HREF=http://www.skcm.org>Society of King Charles, the Martyr</a><BR><BR><A HREF=http://anglicanopinion.blogspot.com>Our Rector's Blog</A><BR><BR><A HREF=http://theplumduff.blogspot.com/>The Plum Duff Blog</A> <br><br><hr><h3> <center>THOSE CONFOUNDED TEENAGERS!</center></h3> <center><IMG SRC="http://www.renegaderadio.org/data/renegade_gallery_images/P1010016.JPG"><BR><H5>Christian Rock Artist appearing on the <I>Renegade Radio</I> Stage at Joshua Fest in Quincy California.<BR></H5><br><br>There is a serious war being waged in our communities.
