Greetings Beloved,

I have a question for you... “Quid Est Veritas?” It is Latin, and it means “What is Truth?”This is the
very question that Pontius Pilate posed to Jesus in the Gospel of St. John 18:38.

The Oxford Living Dictionary defines truth as... “that which is true or in accordance with fact or
reality.” In the Church we know that truth is also an aspect of the nature of God Himself. Therefore, to
receive or “put on” Christ is to put on truth, for Christ is truth. In the Gospel of St. John 14:6 Christ
said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Christians are to be bearers of Truth, and so it follows
that lying moves one away from Christ. Being truthful is about following in God's footsteps, for He
cannot lie. If the Christian goal is to become more God-like and God-centered, then honesty and truth
needs to be a focus in our lives and our ministry.

Beloved the reason that I am talking about truth today is that it has come to my attention that there is an
organization present on the internet that has falsely claimed that they are the Anglican Church
Worldwide who have reformed as a result of unjust leadership and renamed themselves the Worldwide
Anglican Church. My friends nothing could be farther from the truth!

The man who has perpetrated this Lie came to the Anglican Church Worldwide and under false
pretenses and was incardinated. We took him at his word and our Bishops made the mistake of not
vetting him properly, a mistake that will not be repeated in the future. This man came here to the U.S.
from Africa and through his deception managed to get himself consecrated a bishop and when he did
not receive the monetary support amongst other things he demanded following his consecration he
decided to go back and elevate himself as the new Archbishop and leader of our church, claiming
unjust leadership as the reason for this reform. When his mutiny was discovered this man was
defrocked by decision of the house of bishops and dismissed as an apostate. Since that time he has
continually plagiarized our history, our Apostolic Succession, our mission, and our Patrons. There are
photographs of our Late Patriarch as well as the names and photos of several of our bishops who have
never left the ACW and are still active in our ministry. My own spouse's name is listed on their website
as a patron and until this time she never even knew that this man or his false ministry existed.

As the recently elected Archbishop Metropolitan of the Anglican Church Worldwide, and as an Apostle
of Christ it is my duty to not only “Contend Earnestly for the faith once delivered,” but to also speak
the truth in Love, and so I declare once and for all that the Anglican Church Worldwide never reformed
as the WAC, our bishops, priests and patrons are still here and our history is solely our own having
been lived out through the lives of our predecessors who have charged us personally with protecting
and progressing this ministry which we will continue to do faithfully until God says otherwise. We
have not now nor will we ever have an affiliation with the WAC.

Having said that let me now finish by saying...

Hypocrisy is a repulsive trait and not only does it grieve the heart of God, it is universally considered to
be unacceptable. When you lie and pretend to be what you are not, you think that you are advancing the
work of God but are in fact hindering it and this will result in the eventual but inevitable exposure of
your pretending and the disillusionment of those who have put their trust in you and your masquerade.

Any good deed done in the name of God or the name of the Church for the purpose of enhancing one's
own public image is nothing more than the most flagrant sort of hypocrisy. No matter if it is the godless
pretending to be a Holy or the self-absorbed presenting themselves as just and true, the only purpose
served is ego enhancement, and the true motivation is none other than pride. And no deed, no Church
or ministry is greater than it's motivating force.

Proverbs 11:3 says... “The integrity (honesty) of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness
(dishonesty) of transgressors shall destroy them.

Beloved, being honest is not always easy. As Christians, we know how very easy it is to fall into sin.
Therefore, we need to work diligently at being truthful, and it is work. In this world none of us are
granted easy circumstances or situations, and sometimes we really need to work in order to keep our
eyes on God and find the answers. Being honest can sometimes hurt, but knowing that you are
following what God wants for you, will in the end make you more faithful, and your rewards will
come directly from the hand of God.

Christian Author and Social Critic Os Guiness has once said, Christianity is not true because it works
(pragmatism); it is not true because it feels right (subjectivism); and its not true because its “my truth”
(relativism). It is true because it is anchored in the person of Christ.

I say... “Be anchored in truth, be anchored in Christ!”

Let me leave you with the words of St. John the Apostle from his first Epistle chapter 4:6, speaking of
true Christians he says... “We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth
not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.

+May the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you and may God bless you!
AMEN!
