TAC might have instigated the conversation, but the invitation was to all Anglicans. I’m with Bishop Harvey on this one.

The Traditional Anglican Communion instigated the conversation with Rome, it actually has little to do with anyone else. (Not even the Toronto Star.)

David I’m agahst – It’s the Toronto Star for cryin out loud!!

If the Romans were interested in unity there are agencies well entrenched for moving such agenda forward. This is grandstanding plain and simple. But we have Anglicans that will be duped or should I say have been duped uh actually, maybe I should say could be duped. In any case Duped is the optimum word and it stinks.

#2 David, heh, you are such a bad man.

I don’t find the Catholic invitation to be offensive, at the same time I wouldn’t be taking it up becasue of the issues that David brings up. Anyway, I’m pretty sure you’d end up going from the frying pan into the fire.

You probably shouldn’t have said that you couldn’t adhere to outlandish Catholic beliefs such as the fairness and readability of the Toronto Star.

The Star reporters can get a little . . . creative . . . when they paraphrase. Essentially, they wrote what they wish you had said.

I think that this is the time to stand with our Moderator if there ever was a time.

I shouldn’t have told him that I read the National Post.

While I’m sure everyone knew this would never be a viable solution for ANiC/ACNA, I think the response here may have been too harsh. As Bishop Don himself said, “This is not the way to foster good ecumenical dialogue.”

As for the Star’s misquoting David, all I can say is wow. It’s amazing how easily the secular media can transform a complex theological position into an accusation of opposing people’s rights.
