I would put forth my own personal views here on Anglicanism. In general, I consider an Anglican as a “warmed-over Catholic.” By that, Anglicans came out of Catholicism, but not as the Reformation. There are some very good and strong arguments against Catholicism within Anglican works, but at the same time, they continued with Mary’s worship, priesthood, mass, etc. So in general, they are the same as Catholics. On the other hand, some of these Anglican commentaries are excellent in the exposition of the text. Catholic commentaries seek to insert Catholicism in every text it would seem and thus are more useless. Anglican commentaries can be a blessing. You must be careful sometimes as they do have incorrect views.

ChurchPlanting: Warning Signs Bad Pastor revised

Read this article by Pastor Cox on how to identify a bad pastor. This article is a help article for those on church candidate committees (to choose a new pastor for their church), but it is also very helpful for those looking for a new church.
Chapters:
1. Make sure he is really saved.

The problem in countless pastor-church conflict cases are either the leaders in the church or the pastor (or both) are unsaved. There is no substitute for a pastor who is committed and dedicated to following the morality of Christ as seen in Christ's person and explained in the many verses of Scripture. He lives out his salvation if he is saved (what you want). If he is not really saved, you will suffer under his carnality and sinful soul.
