The arrival of a foreign dignitaries to our shores is usually preceded by a fanfare and in some cases a carefully worded announcement full of diplomatic ”˜flourishes’ to allay any misgivings the locals may have about hidden agendas and territorial posturing by the said visitor. It was thus with interest that I read the syrupy bulletin issued to inform us that Katherine Jefferts-Schori, leader of a notorious North American brand of Anglicanism was invited to address the Synod of Bishops of our church later this month. This particular brand is not only increasingly apostate, it is both irrelevant to Africa and impotent in the face of the challenges the African church faces. Eager to cement relationship with the Anglican leadership in Southern Africa, and in the face of very severe objections, these false prophets are taking full advantage of the opportunity to distribute largesse and sow their teachings….
My, my! I certainly agree, but I’m surprised someone actually said it.
Thank you for speaking the truth Brother. Diocese of SC, listen up.
[i]Of course[/i] the PB is! Paul observed that this would happen. 1 Tim 4:1-2.
Preach it, father! His comparison of KJS to a python reminds me of Kaa in the cartoon version of The Jungle Book.
He’s entirely right– surprisingly so for a preeminent personage in the South African church.
Well spoken and courageous words from Fr Dave Doveton.
Woo hoo — nice to see that some Anglicans even in the most liberal province in Africa get it.
I just hope that Father Doveton is finding other clergy and laity like him there in South Africa so that a network can form and provide some pushback in that province.
Kate needs to be told to stay home and keep her nose out of other provinces’ turf……and to keep her trap shut.
