Episcopal Clergyman Charged With Heresy
THE standing committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York has made formal charges of heresy against one of the clergymen in that diocese. They declare and submit the proof, that he denies “the doctrine that our Lord Jesus Christ is God, the Saviour of the world;” “the doctrine that our Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost;” “the doctrine of the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ;” “the doctrine of the resurrection of our blessed Lord and Saviour;” “the doctrine of the blessed trinity.” It is announced that the clergyman “will defend his alleged heretical utterances with the assertion, reinforced by documentary proofs, that they are upheld by the Scriptures.”
