If we disagree with him (and with this cluster of a covenant) then we hate truth and are responsible for everything that's wrong with the Church.<BR/><BR/>Some "conservatives" present reasoned and coherent arguments. Some "conservatives" conduct themselves with great integrity. Some "conservatives" engage the issue with intelligence and with respect for those who disagree.<BR/><BR/>But for some "conservatives" (and admittedly for some "liberals" as well) it is sufficient to debate at the level of the avereage two year old child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-46735052457130076762007-11-01T22:45:00.000-04:002007-11-01T22:45:00.000-04:00The Covenant only bothers those who have a hard ti...The Covenant only bothers those who have a hard time with truth.

What I said then (August 7) was, "Bishop Elect Lawrence has been elected twice and seems likely to be the next Bishop of South Carolina. He will have his reward." see http://anglicanfuture.blogspot.com/2007/08/they-come-in-pairs.html<BR/><BR/>The news is all over ever where. He has the consents.<BR/><BR/>I don't whimper. In fact I pray for the Bishop elect and wish him well. Whether or not I like it that he is elected and consents are there is not particularly interesting as either news or commentary.Mark Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871096746243771489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-57480628328080698622007-10-30T09:05:00.000-04:002007-10-30T09:05:00.000-04:00Off-topic Mark, but no news on Fr.

I suppose I am a little sad to be outnumbered 4 to 1 (or whatever it is), but this sort of frank acknowledgment is much appreciated -- especially after the repeated rhetoric (granted, not precisely on the same issue) I was hearing from the PB on that <I>tiny</I> and <I>silly</I> minority who refuse to get with the TEC program.

I feel it reflects pretty much my views and concerns about the covenant. Thank you to the Executive Council for doing a good job with a complicated matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
