The last meeting upholds Lambeth 1.10. The actions of the Americans would never have "torn the fabric of the Communion" if there had been a consensus that agreed with the above.<BR/><BR/>We are indeed refugees in the face of a despotic persecution, prosecution scorched earth policy being waged by the leader at 815 in New York who has arrogated to herself imperial powers never allowed for or contemplated in the constitution and canons of ECUSA. The opposition is silenced and no one will stand up to her. Those who have are threatened and then silenced, deposed and disposed of. She has even presumed to depose and English bishop.<BR/><BR/>There is a significant Biblical model for us in exile and captivity - as refugees we will continue to be faithful. Naming sin as sin is our prophetic calling. What is going on now in the Episcopal Church, on the part of its leadership, is sin, a corruption of Christian truth and life.Ian Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627900360516792546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-30613726038708893362009-02-06T17:07:00.000+00:002009-02-06T17:07:00.000+00:00The tragegy of all this is the premise asserted in...The tragegy of all this is the premise asserted in The Windsor Report of the main Christian witness is of oneness rather than the phrophetic ministry of the Church. There is a yearning on the part of the AC and some Primates for a set of canons for the Communion and a need for juridical oversight of individual churches. Do we really believe this Roman model to work for us? Don't we offer the world a witness of differences in Christ? Should we try to foster true listening to how the Holy Spirit works within individual churches and leads us differently as we seek to live in Christ? The Ac is so fearful of a break-up that he seems to give up the prophetic witness TEC, Canad and other Churches are offering the Communion.Herodotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981417213758826369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-33538139921367448602009-02-06T14:59:00.000+00:002009-02-06T14:59:00.000+00:00Brilliant analysis!Brilliant analysis!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622358803103789307noreply@blogger.com
