Is He a Heretic includes Twenty Thirty Nine Articles Note
A reader replies to an editorial claiming Episcopal priests must assent to the Thirty Nine Articles. The letter argues no subscription is required by clergy or laity, cites Dr. Tiffany’s article, and defends reformers and open debate within the church. It compares past critics with current dissenters and urges true catholicity. An insurance ad twist at a county fair ends with a wagon slogan about marrying men who are insured.
