If not, it might divide those who are suitable for the job from those who are not. I'd also like to see the General Convention and not just the bishops condemn this legislation and to disassociate themselves from the Church of Nigeria's support for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147515578858272062006-05-13T06:19:00.000-04:002006-05-13T06:19:00.000-04:00Has our HoB met since the news about Nigeria came ...Has our HoB met since the news about Nigeria came out?

They are utterly focused on power to force belief. What is disgraceful is the matching silence from the CoE, ECUSA and the partners in Nigeria's CANA structure. <BR/><BR/>Is Candada the only country with bishops who are capable of proclaiming truth? From here, it certainly seems to be!<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147358842393886652006-05-11T10:47:00.000-04:002006-05-11T10:47:00.000-04:00I might be wrong, but I believe the purpose is to ...I might be wrong, but I believe the purpose is to shore up Williams' credibility as he decides to stay in full communion with the Episcopal Church until Lambeth. If that were the purpose, I might try to get the most conservative primate that I thought I could bring on board, a moderate or two and a liberal, and then put on the screws. A more controversial matter remains which bishops will be invited. If Williams does not invite all bishops of a member province, then we could be looking at a real schism. If he fails to invite Bishop Robinson, he will anger many Episcopalians, including me, but shore up his support elsewhere. It may be that Bishop Robinson voluntarily recuses himself, which I don't think would be a good idea, but wouldn't have the same dangers as the ACC, where we quite foolishly paved the way for constitutional changes. One vote will not likely make a difference. But the symbolism makes an even larger one potentially. <BR/><BR/><BR/>A plug for the Episcopal Church's own bulletin inserts.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_15654_ENG_HTM.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1147337645734934892006-05-11T04:54:00.000-04:002006-05-11T04:54:00.000-04:00Actually, I'm not sure it is so odd not to have TE...Actually, I'm not sure it is so odd not to have TEC represented among the four "wise men." We're pretty much taking the lead in moving towards declaring that same sex partnerships are fine. I hope that Archbishop Akinola isn't one of the four for similar reasons; he's the apparent leader in resisting the direction TEC wants to go. Neither of us is in a good position to really reflect on what the more neutral provinces think of our actions.<BR/><BR/>JonJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323740465436735706noreply@blogger.com
