Sola Scriptura or Sola Cultura?

Read this response by John Yates and Os Guiness to a scurrilous op-ed piece in the Washington Post entitled "Episcopalians against equality".
Heres's an excerpt from the list of problems with Episcopalian revisionism of the historic faith revealed in the Scriptures:
Episcopal revisionism negates the authority of faith. The "sola scriptura" ("by the scriptures alone") doctrine of the Reformation church has been abandoned for the "sola cultura" (by the culture alone) way of the modern church. No longer under authority, the Episcopal Church today is either its own authority or finds its authority in the shifting winds of intellectual and social fashion -- which is to say it has no authority.
I'm pleased to see that our Episcopal church of yore (Church of the Epiphany in Herndon, VA) is voting to join Truro and The Falls Church. Pray for these courageous churches as they stand against heresy.
