It is a church that predates the American Revolution, where John Wesleyonce preached, and has rightly been called the Mother Church of Georgia. Though all the turbulence in American political and social history since 1733 when the colonists established Christ Church of Savannah, the church has steadfastly upheld the abiding principles of the worldwide Anglican Communion: to proclaim and defend the Gospel.
In 2009, it may have finally run its course. Christ Church’s parent organization, the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA), had had enough of the plucky nature of the Georgia congregation which has refused to bow to the unrestrained, rabid, political radicalism of the New York-based ECUSA bureaucracy. The ECUSA is marshalling its considerable financial and PR resources to wrest away the historic church from its congregation.
This is the time to stand up for Anglicans and Episcopalians who want to keep their denomination a Christian one. Here is a link where faithful of all strands can join the prayerful struggle to keep one of America’s oldest churches as a haven for preaching the Gospel. The symbolism of this struggle against the powerful forces of radical liberalism cannot be overemphasized.

Not every generation of Christians gets the opportunity that Martin Luther had when he spoke plain truth to the assembled powers of his day, ‘This is where I stand, I can do no other.’ Where do real Episcopalians and Anglicans stand today?
