The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.
The Anglican Covenant process, as it unfolds, is more about practical issues of working together in spite of disagreements, rather than coming apart over them.
—Tobias Haller BSG
see my reflection on part one of the Saint Andrew's Draft at Episcopal Café.
“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

Well said Tobias, and I agree.

I wish I felt that were so. The Covenant process feels like a way to sew things up and close down space for disagreement. Work through disagreement or work together in the midst of disagreement seems to mean as long as those who represent the problem aren't present in the discussions. The ABC's particular views on the episcopate and Communion=one Church as well as the uniformity some seek give me great pause everytime I hear "covenant".
This is encouraging.
That may be the theory.....
