Leaders of the adherents of the Anglican faith need to stop embarrassing their flock. They are also making the Holy Trinity they listen to look confused and opening their communion to ridicule.
Come July 16, some Anglicans will be at the Lambeth Conference. Two weeks ago, another lot was in Jerusalem-Jordan-Jerusalem participating in the Global Anglican Future Conference, GOFCON, which formed the Fellowship of Confessing Christians.
The group meeting at Lambeth watched and listened. The… [GAFCON] lot will now do likewise. Each holds, not viciously so far, theological and canonical sledgehammers over the Scriptures’ stand on a juicy subject: sex.
The author of this thinly veiled editorial comes up with an interesting conlcusion, and one which makes a lot of sense at the end of the day, if indeed the last of his sentences holds true, then it would indeed be wiser to “split”.
“An accommodation, a la Apostles Paul and Peter—say on gentiles and Jewish rituals—seems impossible. A split would avoid an embarrassing hauling of the sledgehammers at each other.”
