    Prayers indeed for the wonderful Diocese of South Carolina, its bishop, members and legal team:

    May the Lord bless you and keep you
    and by His arm strengthen and protect you
    grow you and complete for His glory
    the mighty work He has begun in you
    in the joy and power of Jesus’ Name

    Amen

    Resolution 1

    6. We receive The Book of Common Prayer as set forth by the Church of England in 1662, together with the Ordinal attached to the same, as a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline,

    So far so good

    and, with the Books which preceded it, as the standard for the Anglican tradition of worship.

    Really? The Gelasian Sacramentary? The Sarum Rite? How remarkably inclusive.

    7. We receive the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of 1571, taken in their literal and grammatical sense, as expressing the Anglican response to certain doctrinal issues controverted at that time, and as expressing fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief.

    I can go along with that. The Articles are moreover a really helpful guide to approaching the Bible, not to see controversy between verses or too readily dismayed by difficulties, but go back to it and think and pray about it when in due course the questions may resolved to a deeper understanding without getting sent off on rabbit trails or down a rabbit hole.

    Good.
