You have such a knack of summing up the situation in one or two pithy sentences which I really admire.<br />I have taken the liberty of quoting it in its entirety on my current blog post, 'Countdown to the Chains of the Anglican Covenant'- I hope you don't mind.Laura Sykeshttp://www.layanglicana.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-49351001459441660022011-11-06T14:57:10.828-05:002011-11-06T14:57:10.828-05:00In this case it references "The Anglican Cove...In this case it references "The Anglican Covenant" -- which I read as an effort to enforce uniformity across the Communion on matters where it is apparent no common mind across the communion exists. If anything is "silly" it is a misguided effort to impose uniformity where there is already diversity well established.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-69147042039773125182011-11-06T13:11:12.648-05:002011-11-06T13:11:12.648-05:00What exactly is "the barn" in your metap...What exactly is "the barn" in your metaphor? Church structures? A shared ecclesiology? It's an amusing thought, I'll admit, but as soon as I pop one of these things in for "the barn" the whole concept sounds awfully silly.Fr.

Our report to our now postponed diocesan convention will show that there is no enthusiasm for the Covenant, some strong opposition, and as with Bill's diocese no resolution is proposed.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-9081901274591057562011-11-04T08:29:45.823-05:002011-11-04T08:29:45.823-05:00Brilliant!Brilliant!Alan T Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700037716579004059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-10841800739017897972011-11-04T08:02:27.973-05:002011-11-04T08:02:27.973-05:00Yes, yes, and yes.
With the news from New Zealand...Yes, yes, and yes.<br /><br />With the news from New Zealand, together with the recommendation from our Executive Council and the votes of several of our diocesan conventions, it seems pretty clear that the Anglican Covenant is dead (at least in its present form and for this round).<br /><br />I didn't attend our diocesan convention last weekend (personal reasons, not any theological or political agenda!), but I understand that the A.C. did not come up on the floor. I'm told the general opinion was, "Why flog a dead horse?"WSJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712152737422347034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-33632526933257041422011-11-03T18:16:20.219-05:002011-11-03T18:16:20.219-05:00Amen!
