If they were for sale, there are available johns to pay. So tell us all, Bishop, who is really whoring here -- could you have gotten that pink shirt in TEC?<br /><br />FWIW<br />jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-61039775342511090242010-04-30T23:09:44.327-04:002010-04-30T23:09:44.327-04:00I hear a saying in English is that it is better to...I hear a saying in English is that it is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.<br /><br />The primates speak to one another as equals. But they have no authority so they do not vote on anything. They supposedly come to a consensus on their opinions.<br /><br />The only entity that has authority is the Anglican Consultative Council. The provinces are not represented equally in this body.<br /><br />From the Wikipedia;<br />The largest provinces are entitled to appoint three representatives, consisting of one bishop, one priest, and one layperson.<br /><br />For the purposes of apportioning the membership on the Anglican Consultative Council, the large provinces are considered to be:<br />Anglican Church of Australia<br />Anglican Church of Canada<br />Church of England<br />Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion)<br />Church of the Province of Rwanda<br />Church of the Province of Southern Africa<br />Church of South India<br />Anglican Church of Tanzania<br />Church of the Province of Uganda<br />Episcopal Church (United States of America)<br /><br />The smallest provinces appoint only one person, preferably from among the laity.<br /><br />The smallest provinces include:<br />Church of Bangladesh<br />Episcopal Anglican Church of Brasil<br />Church of the Province of Burundi<br />Anglican Church of the Central America Region<br />Church of Ceylon<br />Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui<br />Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean<br />Nippon Sei Ko Kai (Anglican Communion in Japan)<br />Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East<br />Anglican Church in Korea<br />Church of the Province of Melanesia<br />Anglican Church of Mexico<br />Church of the Province of Myanmar<br />Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea<br />Episcopal Church in the Philippines<br />Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America<br />Scottish Episcopal Church<br />Church of the Province of Southeast Asia<br />Church of the Province of West AfricaBrother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-69406688321560885712010-04-30T22:33:21.198-04:002010-04-30T22:33:21.198-04:00This application of "Global South" impli...<i>This application of "Global South" implies doctrinal fidelity to Scripture and "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." Fidelity to the historic Anglican formularies is actually the point around which GAFCON (now the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans or FCA) gathered originally. It is how people of like faith are being incorporated into fellowship and mission cooperation regardless of where they live".</i><br /><br />So why call themselves "Global South" at all? (If you don't have to live there, and it's certainly not where their money comes from?)<br /><br />My guess: they decided on the term "Global South" because of the credibility and admirability this term gained from the <b>Liberation Theology</b> that the GAFCONian FOCAs reject!<br /><br />They are <i>milking</i> the cred of Gutierrez, and Boff, and Helder Camara, and Steve Biko, and Desmond Tutu (among others) . . . and then turning around and p*ssing on the legacy (if not person) of the actual people who INVENTED the (Liberation) concept "Global South"! Hypocrites! >:-0JCFnoreply@blogger.com
