As you know, in his July 27, 2009 “‘Reflections on the Episcopal Church�s 2009 General Convention. . .,” the Archbishop of Canterbury discussed the possibility of a “two-fold ecclesial reality in view in the middle distance. . .[whereby] there may be associated local churches in various kinds of mutual partnership and solidarity with one another and with �covenanted� provinces.” God willing, should there come an opportunity for this Diocese, and likewise for the Advent, to remain aligned with the orthodox Anglican Communion and at the same time distance ourselves from the current direction and decisions of TEC, we prayerfully believe that you will take all necessary actions to remain aligned with the Anglican Communion.
May God be with both of you, and grant us all His wisdom.
Which begs the question, shouldn’t the AC itself be subject to [i]semper reformanda[/i]? Seems the western bit of the AC is in severe need of reformation. Just sayin’.
The Bishop of the Diocese of Albama seems to have a ‘communications problem.’
Why else would those in leadership positions under him have to write letters and publish them, one in a local newspaper, in order to get his attention?
Good luck with that, Advent.
