The council of the Modern Churchpeople’s Union (MCU) met November 6 in London’s Docklands to develop a strategy for the defense of liberal theology.
Firmly opposed to the proposed Anglican covenant, the group plans to extend its network beyond England, improving links with the Episcopal Church, building branches in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, recruiting a range of ages and denominations, and increasing support among bishops and academic theologians.
The council members, many of them Church of England clergy, agreed that the organization will be re-branded, re-named, and re-constituted to reflect more fully its openness and diversity. Furthermore, the group decided that an administrator should be appointed and a system of working groups set up.

When the going gets tough, the tough appoint committees. Or something like that.
Surely if someone is a liberal, they should sit light to titles eg Rev Canon Professor Marilyn McCord Adams.
Well, if you take away the titles, what is left?
Fluff, sort of like dryer lint, pageantmaster. Like theology when you take moral and ethical teachings with four thousand years of tradition behind them out because “we know better”.
