"One generation out of the trees" said Bp Spong. Now you opine your racist statement that they are little children and insult to Dr. Poon -- This is the same sentiment expressed by the segregationists in the 1920s toward the "darkies" who they said were not grown up enough to know how to vote.The Rev Canon Dr David Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09878281384587956210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-35618625984492856582010-03-31T15:46:19.283-04:002010-03-31T15:46:19.283-04:00I'm no twelve year old anymore, ..much like no...I'm no twelve year old anymore, ..much like no one else is.

I believe...I disagree (only slightly) with Adrian. <a href="http://episcopalhospitalchaplain.blogspot.com/2010/03/dr-poon-on-anglican-communion-first.html" rel="nofollow">I believe</a> the point of Dr. Poon's paper is primarily the argument for the Anglican Church, for which the Covenant is simply the means.<br /><br />With that in mind, I would expect the GSE4 gathering to hold off on declaring separation for a bit longer to see if they can convince more centrist provincial/national churches (especially C of E if they can get them) to endorse the idea that only those who sign the Covenant qualify as Anglicans. If they are successful at that, they "stand" as the Communion while the rest of us "walk apart." If not, they "stand" while the Communion "walks apart."<br /><br />NB: my verification word is "tables." That seems apt, since I've long likened this disagreement to a game of "cowboy poker," with the bull in the ring while everyone watches to see who is last to leave the table of Canterbury.Marshall Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807749717320495495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-88858965394654064992010-03-31T10:27:02.794-04:002010-03-31T10:27:02.794-04:00"Wayward sisters, depart in peace"?<i>"Wayward sisters, depart in peace"</i>?Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.com
