Minns’s comments did make me think of the <i>Time</i> <a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1211587-1,00.html" rel="nofollow">questions</a> for Katharine Jefferts Schori, however, where, the traditionalists would argue, she denied the uniqueness of Jesus.Lionel Deimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363018512775944659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-67239171960347834672010-07-26T22:00:28.738-04:002010-07-26T22:00:28.738-04:00How on earth would Minns know anything about "...How on earth would Minns know anything about "aesthetics in music and liturgy"?<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X6th4pQTq8nlnhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-75624894337573699852010-07-26T13:16:19.770-04:002010-07-26T13:16:19.770-04:00I disagree Observer.

I submit that yes, those few are also some of the most populated. But the AC is a federation of regional and national Anglican churches, not a federation of the populations of those Anglican churches.<br /><br />In the same light, it is those provinces that are very much in communion with TEC that I venture are the reasons for which she elects to remain a part of the AC. Perhaps there are more who value her communion than you can appreciate.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-37347752139558635502010-07-26T12:37:12.498-04:002010-07-26T12:37:12.498-04:00¨....but Minns could be elected so easily in most ...¨....but Minns could be elected so easily in most of the AC - perhaps that is the point¨.....Observer?<br /><br />Who says? You says? I don´t think there is much of a market out there (even in the Global South) for non-pro poachers on properties owned by the Episcopal Church. Actually, not-too-observant, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Courts of Georgia, California have been tossing out purist purity property claims...is there really much of a ¨calling¨ for doubledealing priests at The Anglican Communion?

Some of them face legal and physical peril in their own countries (such as Uganda and Nigeria).Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-80854810061657372252010-07-26T05:21:13.505-04:002010-07-26T05:21:13.505-04:00....but Minns could be elected so easily in most o.......but Minns could be elected so easily in most of the AC - perhaps that is the point.....TEC wants to be inside the AC (and pays with compromises and delays of years) but ultimately does not agree with most of the AC..... a choice has to be made: stay in the club at the cost of integrity or keep to principles.Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-78209005020939074252010-07-25T20:19:20.991-04:002010-07-25T20:19:20.991-04:00He postulated that fanaticism and self-righteousne...He postulated that fanaticism and self-righteousness are rooted in self-hatred, self-doubt, and insecurity.

His job was to preach the Gospel and minister to and with his people. As far as I know he kept that promise and we remain friends. Would that Bishop Minns was a gracious as this priest and had the same priorities.
