Well, I don’t know the different between Frank or Jim Wallis among protestants. Wallis believes that because the old testment had the year of the Jubilee then the federal government should be heavily involved in the economy. However, Frank S has not been evangelical in years:therefore, doesn’t seen the bible as the reason for doing certain things politically. Frankie was a late convert to the same political views of Jim Wallis.

Jason,

It may be best to point out that Franky is just that – a new convert to Orthodoxy – and he carries lots of baggage with him. Then point your friends to the Fathers of the Church.

Your Prot friends also need to come to understand that not one person can speak for Orthodoxy (in an official capacity). This is not Rome, this is not Wittenberg. You can have an interesting conversation about ecclesiology and epistemology.

In reply to Jason Homey. I wish I could help you out on that one Jason, but I can't as of this point. Hopefully someone will screw up the necessary cojones and put him in his place. If I may speculate as to why no bishop in the OCA or AOCNA has said anything, it's probably because they "defer" to his bishop, Methodius. (Whom, I must suspect, more or less agrees with Frank.)

Hi George,

Are you aware of any Orthodox priests or bishops who, in writing, have gone on record as specifically denouncing Franky Schaeffer’s recent writings on moral subjects? I ask this because Schaeffer’s name has recently come up in discussion among some of my conservative Protestant friends, and I am looking to find some material (from an Orthodox source) to present to them that deals specifically with Schaeffer, so as to help my friends to disassociate the name of Franky Schaeffer with the label of ‘convert to Orthodoxy’.

Thanks and God bless,

Jason

Excellent point, Robert! The Left is so intellectually bankrupt that they make the Phanar look flush in comparison.

In reply to Andrerw.

Does not surprise me one. dang. bit. 🙄

Clearly the staff at that magazine have been attending the DailyKos school of journalism if they publish such a review of Frankie.

The man just spews hatred, he talk so much about the conservatives hatred for Obama (I think that is just Frankies projection. I dislike what Obama is doing, but in the progressive group think any disagreement = hatred) that one has to wonder if the man is just sitting at home waiting to hear that Obama has been shot.

I wrote a kind note to Frankie reminding him that it was people of his ilk that have a tendency of putting holes in politicians they disagree with.

Was it conservatives who put holes in Lincoln, JFK, Bobby Kennedy & Reagan?

Good Lord when will this man’s 15 minutes be up already?

Action Alert! The December 2009 issue of THE WORD Magazine which is available on antiochian.org has a very favorable review of Frank Schaeffer’s latest work Patience with God. I believe the review seriously neglects many of the problems Mr. Schaeffer’s current views present for Orthodox Christians. Read his huffingtonpost pieces and watch his interviews on youtube. Also check out the lifesite article on abortion.

I would like to encourage AOI readers to write into the WORD Magazine in a reasoned and respectful manner and help correct this error. The email address for the WORD is on the inside cover. This is a great opportunity for AOI readers to shine.

My guess is Franky’s bishop will look the other way unless he says something against the omogenia (race).

Franky is hurting Franky. The cult of personality is given full sway. He is being used, once again.

There is a lesson in all this.

We must pray and ask God for mercy on him, his bishop and on us.

My concern for Franky is that he will soon realize what has happened. He set himself up and others enabled him to do so. My prayer is that he may run to, not away from, the Father.

You know, we should all cut Frank some slack. I personally think he’s been getting some “attaboys” from his bishop. He sure isn’t getting any Orthodox catechesis. I think the Orthodox Church, in the person of his bishop, has let him down. The question is “why?” Is it because of the general worldly drift of New England? Has it infected the GOA in those parts?

I read on another blog that Frank didn’t have even a nice personality years ago either. There is now a left wing of evangeclicalism known as the emergating church which is similar to liberal mainline protestism which is liberal on both theology and politics.
