The Brit Hob is either stalling or fears difficulties at synod. It speaks poorly of the leadership in the CoE. It also seems to place our Mother Church back to the Nicene era. That being the case what does it say about the last two millenium. May I suggest that perhaps the church of our forefathers consider moving back just a little further, Hmmm, wait, over there- yes, yes, I can see, it’s Jesus.

In any event the ACNA needs only the faith building surety of the recognition of God. If success and growth rate can be determining factors, She (ACNA) would appear to be obedient to the will of God.
May I plead again for the “factoring of faith” in the synod motion process? Let all motions require unanimous consent as is the will of the Father.

That’s true, but it’s frustrating that most of the English bishops apparently want to join the Archbishop of Canterbury in dithering as long as possible. This is starting to look like fiddling while Rome burns (but then, they’re not in communion with Rome…).

I am reminded of 2 Peter 3. In God’s own good time things will come to be as He wants. If ACNA is to be in Communion with CoE and/or WAC than it will happen, and there is nothing that ACoC nor TEC can do to stop it.

Yes, and it’s a fairly strange thing for the Torygraph to be saying…

the use of word fundamentalist to describe the Rt Rev Wallace Benn is certainly inflamatory.

That won’t defuse any row: it will inflame things.
