But when I try and make any sense of what the people who are trying to hold - perhaps with the best of intentions - the shattered pieces of Anglicanism together, I find myself awash in a sea of meaningless sludge. The 'trajectory' abomination is scattered abroad by liberals and conservatives with equal abandon. Jim (#1),

The first Sunday after the bibles appeared, a good friend of mine (whose father is a minister) said to me "What are these here for? We're Anglicans. We don't read the bible." Although cute at the time, in retrospect it appears smug narrow and dismissive. This is a longwinded way of addressing the "two categories" issue. It seems to me that we have much more in common with our faithful brethren, both across the Tiber and in the Protestant fold, than we have with a whole slew of those we used to call fellow Anglicans. In ANiC's case, just look at the generosity of the Crossroads folk in opening up their facilities to us. Contrast that to the deceitful mean-spirited pursuit of the ACoC's lawsuits against dissenting parishes and the despicable actions against our priests. Trajectory assumes an inevitable direction. The only thing we know for sure is that God's will be done.
