The issues which are “raising their heads” in the communion were discussed as well. Bishop Brooks remarked with great regret that so much energy is placed on issues of sexuality while the “real matter of advancing God’s Kingdom is being treated as an aside.” He hopes very much that at the Lambeth Conference we may come to “a place where we can have a common mind and move forward.” But this is, as he remarked, very much threatened, if we behave in a disingenuous manner to each other. I think, if I understand Bishop Brooks rightly, he is suggesting that there is a crisis of confidence in the communion caused by the fact that people “are not afraid to say things and not keep their word.” When he was young, he was always taught that “a man’s word is his bond.” It is necessary he said, to “turn on the light in the dark places.”
Read it all and please bookmark this blog for your Lambeth reading going forward.
If a branck of the communion and its leaders cosistantly lie yhey can only be false teachers and yjus their ordination are void as they lied when taking them. There is no boundary crossing as those so-called bishops are void.
Sorry about branch
