Perhaps now is the right time for the Church of England to Bury The Covenant!

Bishop Dan is allowed to speak and if the House of Bishops were 95% conservative, would the liberals be grandstanding if they spoke their opinion? Bishop Dan's people seem happy that he actually tells them what happens at the conference(which mine will never do) and that he is willing to speak up for the traditionalist side. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />Chris H.<br /> <br />on 3/24/15<br /> <br />I doubt very seriously if the few conservative CP Bishops left in TEC believe in any way that GC will sign the covenant. They are simply indicating to the wider communion that they value the communion. They have almost no power in a church that has left them in a tiny minority, but at least they can speak their mind. I wouldn't spend any energy worrying about this. CP is the tiny remnant left in TEC that will try to find some small place to stand in a church that will soon have SS marriage throughout every diocese. The only question they are facing is amortization schedule. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />Jim<br /> <br />on 3/23/15<br /> <br />Bishop Dan seems to always like to stand where there is at least indirect lighting if no spotlights are available...siempre. Something like ¨I am ready for my close-up Mr. Demille¨... Speaking, of course, in Gafconese. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />Leonardo Ricardo<br /> <br />on 3/21/15<br /> <br />@Anglican: you seem nice. Vaya con Dios...and Buh-bye! Anglican Covenant? Love it! (I mean the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral, of course) on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />JCF<br /> <br />on 3/21/15<br /> <br />No public religion worth the name fails to define itself, leaving its members unable to say "This is orthodox" or "This is heresy." I believe that GAFCON will prove to be too little to late. Its general goals, however, are laudable. The Episcopal Church is a post-Christian cult. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />Anglican<br /> <br />on 3/21/15<br /> <br />Thanks, Lionel, for this reflection. Personally - being part of ACANZP in the South Pacific - I would vote resolutely AGAINST the Covenant. It really is 'dead in the water' and would do nothing for Anglican solidarity while yet pretending to. it might, in fact, empower GAFCON to think itself the true representation of world-wide Anglicanism, which it is not. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />Father Ron Smith<br /> <br />on 3/21/15<br /> <br />I'd rather have had the last rites for the covenant at the last GC. If a resolution about the covenant is presented this year, I'd like to see it settled once and for all with a firm no vote. But that's just me. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.<br /> <br />June Butler<br /> <br />on 3/21/15<br /> <br />So, here's the list of the Communion Partner Bishops http://www.communionpartners.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Bishops-Communion-Partners-June-2014.pdf There are 16 of them. 7 are bishops diocesan, 1 is bishop suffragan. Nine (9) are bishops resigned / retired. It's all a bit like watching an old dog with no teeth lift his eyes and growl under his breath as he sees a bone he once might have chased down for at least a mile. on Communion Partner Bishops doing the Anglican Covenant two-step.Mark Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871096746243771489noreply@blogger.com
