Traditionalist Anglicans, smarting over the General Synod’s vote on women bishops, were urged on Saturday [Nov 1] not to become insular and “keep themselves to themselves”.
The appeal was issued by “flying bishop” Martyn Jarrett at a traditionalists’ Northern Festival in York Minster attended by thousands of Anglo-Catholics from all parts of the York province and beyond.
Bishop Jarrett, Bishop of Beverley, was preaching almost four months after July’s synod vote on women in the episcopate which traditionalists see as giving them no protection when females don mitres, possibly by 2013.
Right-o, then! Just ignore the results in the ECUSA/TEC/GCC/EO-PAC in regard to traditionalists. It could never happen in Jolly ol’ !!!
Rowan’s ‘leadership’ triumphs again. Shockingly consistent results on both sides of the Pond.
I don’t see that Bp. Jarrett is telling anyone to ignore anything. It seems to me he’s saying quite the opposite.
