Brethren,

I'm really not trying to stir things up, but in light of the recent
discussion of Marian Intercessions I thought the following from
Griffith Thomas' Principles of Theology might be of interest.  At
least some Anglicans (I would place myself in that group -- big
surprise!) have had problems with the concept:


"In the face of the full, deep, rich teaching of Holy Scripture
concerning the direct approach of the soul to God, and the numerous
invitations to 'draw near with assurance of faith,'  anything short of
this really amounts to distrust and disobedience." -- The Rev. W.H.
Griffith Thomas, D.D.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Drew
