This is a document prepared by a group from the Diocese of New York and offered to the Church prior to General Convention 2003. It provides, in my opinion, an excellent outline, with commentary, of how Scripture should be read and understood. Inasmuch as the on-going debate within The Episcopal Church and in the larger Anglican Communion centers on just how one understands Scripture, this is an important topic. I have posted this primarily for the benefit of my companions in Fresh Start, a program for clergy assigned to new positions, but I commend it to anyone’s study.
