The Archbishop of Canterbury has asked the Virginia Theological Seminary to invite representatives from seminaries affiliated with the Anglican Church of North America to attend, on an equal basis as representatives from seminaries of the Episcopal Church, the dedication of the school’s chapel. On 13 Oct 2015 the Most Rev. Justin Welby will dedicate Immanuel Chapel on the VTS campus and preach at the 10:00 service with the current and future Presiding Bishops of the Episcopal Church, the Most Revs. Katharine Jefferts Schori and Michael Curry, co-celebrating the Eucharist. At a choral evensong scheduled for 4:00 pm later that day Archbishop Welby and former Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold will dedicate the chapel’s change ringing bells. A lecture by chapel architect Robert A.M. Stern will follow. On 22 Oct 2010 the Nineteenth century chapel was badly damaged by fire at the Alexandria, Virginia theological college. The Very Rev. Ian Markham, dean of VTS, said he this was an “exciting time in the life of” the school. "More than a thousand guests will be here to join the trustees, faculty, staff, and students for this historic occasion offered to the Glory of God." Student and faculty representatives from each of the Episcopal Church’s seminaries will be present at a dinner hosted by Dean Markham the previous evening, as well as representatives from the ACNA. A spokesman for the Archbishop told Anglican Ink: “I can confirm that The Dean of VTS is hosting a dinner at The Archbishop of Canterbury's request to which the Dean/Director plus a senior student of all those seminaries investing in the education and formation of Episcopal and other Anglican future clergy in North America are invited, on Monday October 12.. This includes Reformed Episcopal Seminary.” Dean Jonathan Riches and student Peter Joslyn are scheduled to attend the gathering on behalf of the Reformed Episcopal Seminary.

February 1229 A.D.   Council of Toulouse-- "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament" Wohlberg, Steve. “Papal Rome Against the Bible.”   White Horse Media. N.d. http://www.whitehorsemedia.com/articles/?d=99#.VJGcA8J0xjo .   Accessed 16 Dec 2014.   From the 1200s to the 1800s, Papal leaders openly condemned the reading of the Bible in the vernacular (the language of the common people) and even persecuted those caught with copies of the Scriptures in their possession. Because Bible Societies (beginning in the 1800's) won the war and have spread God's Word around the world, Rome has backed off of its previously public position. Yet the Vatican has not changed. Papal Rome's opposition to pure Bible truth remains to this day. Note these historical statements: At the Council of Toulouse (1229 A.D), papal church leaders ruled: "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament ... We forbid them most severely
