I’m posting this here and on Anglicana, as I’m really scratching my head here, and would be grateful for any sensible explanation of what’s gone wrong and when and how it will be remedied.
I have two questions:
1) What happened to epiScope?…
2) What on earth has happened to the Episcopal News Service?….
And while I’m thinking of it, that leads to a third question:
3) Where’s the accountability?
House organs with no pretense to objectivity or accuracy in reporting need not be held accountable except to the needs of the moment and the revisioning of history as best suits the current moment. Less updating means less revision. Less revision means less staff. Less staff means more money for suits. Ivestia – Pravda. Pravda – Ivestia.
What was that chap’s name in that book?
I am not sorry to see either of these sorry publications go, if they are, in fact, going. They have been embarrassing to me, as an Episcopalian, for years.
Hmmm.
I haven’t found them embarrassing — just irrelevant. I’d love to know what their traffic is online. It may be sky high for all I know. I’m assuming those two places are where you go if you’re a revisionist, maybe throwing in Thinking Anglicans, Susan Russell, and a couple of other personal revisionist blogs.
As I recall I’ve visited epiScope two times. I don’t even know their url. I have visited ENS — maybe go there twice a month for a specific story, so that I can get the spin, then find out the facts for myself.
But I guess if those two kind of decline — I’m sure that, rather like national TEC, they won’t “go away” — then online news hounds who are revisionists turn to Thinking Anglicans?
She wants accountability? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
The Executive Council or Integrity or whatever group is running TEC has none!
There came a point when I asked them to stop sending it because it angered me to see the orthodox cause so glibly dismissed and because I believed the values expressed in Episcopal publications were not ones I wanted to have my children see as “validated.” For me the question in all of this has always been: “what am I modeling for my children?”
It’s interesting reading the comments on Sarah’s blog (pretty much all from orthodox reasserters). But there seems to be a systematic problem with accountability in TEC. I hadn’t been aware about the degree to which Standing Commissions for various areas are being totally cut out of the loop with 815 taking over increasing central power.
Good for Dylan Breuer for raising the questions. But like Greg G. commented at Dylan’s, I won’t hold my breath waiting for her to get answers.
