Wow, that really says something about how far left the left must be, if the PB-elect is viewed by you as being in the middle."<BR/><BR/>If, and that is unlikely, the PB elect ever had a chance of being the spokesperson for the left of TEC, she forfitted it when she shoved D033 up our throats. I fear the problem now is very simple, we do not trust her. She, like the PB is quite willing to sacrifice us to get the ticket to the elete party in '08. I hope she enjoys it.<BR/><BR/>She will find that once burned being twice learned, her support among the left is now very conditional. Given she has gained nothing on the right (she is still a woman) all that I can see is loss.<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1157732762788646602006-09-08T12:26:00.000-04:002006-09-08T12:26:00.000-04:00The PB-Elect must not be too far to the left, cons...The PB-Elect must not be too far to the left, considering how unanimously the extreme fundamentalist rightists supported her.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe that had some other reason for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1157722976206889272006-09-08T09:42:00.000-04:002006-09-08T09:42:00.000-04:00The PB-elect does not speak for the left wing?

They have been successfully--and impressively--marginalized.<BR/><BR/>PB Griswold and our PB-elect do not speak for TEC's left wing; they belong more in the middle or center-left. <BR/><BR/>This makes me wonder: what are the ABC and the Anglican right afraid of? Would giving TEC's left wing representation be dangerous? I think the ABC et al believe so. <BR/><BR/>For so many in the Global North--and many in the GS--would agree with what TEC's left wing has to say. If it found a voice, the rest of the Anglican Communion might well be humiliated by appearing to be outdone in the pursuit of justice by those outside the church.The Anglican Scotisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715779952262032127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-1157658788761627022006-09-07T15:53:00.000-04:002006-09-07T15:53:00.000-04:00I have a feeling a "Lambeth Invite: Required Loyal...I have a feeling a "Lambeth Invite: Required Loyalty Oath (i.e., Windsor Compliance)" is a-comin'.<BR/><BR/>Ignore the distractions, TEC, and press on towards the Kingdom! :-D<BR/><BR/>(And, as I always say: make those Lambeth travel plans, <B>regardless!</B>)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
