My cynical side says that discussing Scriptural authority on the next-to-last day and “sexuality” on the last day means that the organizers hope the participants will be so pummeled and dazed by the previous two weeks of “We must get along at all costs!” that they will be unable to put up a fight.
Let us hope that my cynical alter ego is wrong. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit will descend upon erring bishops and bring them to the fullness of truth in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I just hope that the “orthodox” bishops finally wake up and full realize the utter bankruptcy of the leftists and what it really is that we all are up against.
It is very telling that the title for the discussion on human sexuality is “listening.”
Actually, #2, there are several days after the “sexuality” indaba session if you go to the August calendar. These tend to be devoted to the Windsor “Process,” which is, of course, dead as a doornail.
Oh, Lord, Jeffersonian. And here I thought that the agony would be over. Several days to talk about the “Windsor Process,” a dead item, with the people who refuse to cooperate with it at all still in place in the indaba groups. Urk.
Well, I guess it’ll keep everyone off the streets and out of trouble for a few days. I wonder if they’ll have the candor to end each session’s minutes with “and then everything goes into a file cabinet to be ignored by everyone.”
Let’s see, Nose Picking, followed by Nose picking, Lunch, Nap Time, followed by Small Groups to discuss Afternoon Nose picking, Nose Picking, Evensong, Sherry, Bed. Repeat for several days. Photo Ops and Press Conferences as time allows…..
I appreciate the cynicism of so many of you (though nwlayman’s casual remark is frankly offensive to those of us here on the ground who have devoted a great deal of time to making sure that this is not nose picking), and I share it to a certain degree, but I must say what I have been saying: please do not write off this Conference before it begins. As Ephraim Radner has often said, Lambeth Conference can be what it wants to be; it does these bishops and the Communion no good to sit around undermining the very potential of this Conference.
I wonder which day the progressive-revisionists will/might select to declare ‘victory’ for their agenda of “radical inclusiveness?”
