The Anglican Communion needs to get beyond its difficulties over sexuality issues and to focus, as the Primates did at the Emmaus Centre, on much wider issues, not least the mission of the Church. While also addressing the unity of the Communion, which touches not least the proposed Anglican Covenant, the discussions at this Primates’ Meeting were indeed wide-ranging.
Yes, well, there it is: The Covenant. All that other stuff is trivia.
The patient needs to get away from looking at the cancer eating away their bones and focus on the important stuff like getting to work and making freinds…
To suggest one should move on from an unresolved issue that is tearing the fabric of the communion is simply ridiculous!
Such is the life of massive alcoholic systems. “Let’s just act like it’s all not happening”…
This makes perfect sense if you assume that sexual issues are morally neutral, the position taken by Spong’s Koinania paper in 1997.
Well, we can at least answer their questions about the Covenant:
No.
Yes.
Probably not, as it will be a completely irrelevant document that nobody will pay attention to. Its sole purpose now is to be a distraction.
And the decision of the General Synod will have about as much meaning and significance as the drivel released at the Dublin Primates’ Meeting.
