ENS: 'Evolving' covenant adoption process makes for ambiguity

Two leaders in the development of the proposed Anglican covenant said here May 5 that the process which might be used for Anglican entities to adopt the document is “evolving,” even as that evolution has made for some seemingly contradictory statements in the past days.

Anglican Communion Deputy Secretary General Gregory Cameron told reporters “we’re feeling our way” in terms of the implications for those provinces that decide not to sign onto the covenant, whether entities other than the provinces which are now members of the Anglican Consultative Council (as listed in the council’s constitution) would be allowed to adopt the covenant and whether there would be a time limit for provinces to decide.

On May 4, Cameron had told reporters that “at the moment there is no linkage to signing the covenant” and participation in the life of the communion. But, he added, “if a number of provinces were to adopt the covenant, then I think naturally the question would be asked whether some sort of assessment or change would have to take place.”

    There is no ambiguity, guys. The plan is all working out to the satisfaction of the ABC and ECUSA/TEC/GCC/EO-PAC and the gaygenda. How to best manipulate is still to be determined, of course, so that the maximum spread of the NEW THANG GOZPELL (C) is accomplished.

    I’m not sure, #1, that everything is going just the way Cameron and Williams want it to. Time will tell.
