    Thanks for posting this Kendall. The interesting bits for me were:

    [blockquote] 10. Ordered for communion:
    There is concern caused by intervention across provinces, by impaired communion and by a perceived lack of restraint and self-limitation. [/blockquote] Note the use of the word perceived.

    [blockquote] The Contribution of the Communion to Evangelism:
    Provide clarification on the nature of the Communion whether it consists of independent denominations or independent provinces [/blockquote] Very interesting observation there…

    [blockquote] Acknowledge the failures in evangelism through the contradictory doctrines now arising and incursions into the diocesan partnership and coercion without consent; [/blockquote]
    The only other point which attempts to touch on the current crisis but at such high a level as to be meaningless.

    And finally, the most interesting part was how little substance there was in the document considering 600+ Bishops have provided input.

    Nothing yet on scripture or sexuality, but there are headings for those issues.
