I mistakenly just posted the following on the 29 Nov thread discussing this issue.

+Martyn Minns is ‘right on’ when he speaks of the issue of “trust.”
It seems that the revisionists within the Anglican Communion have borrowed from a famous axiom of the radical left, which is, loosely cited,
“Whatever advances the revolution is moral, whatever retards the revolution is immoral.”
How do you deal with people who are so intensely focused on imposing a secular agenda on a Christian church?
So intensely focused that they are willing to severely damage or destroy the church’s ecclesiological structure and its many critical ministries in order to have things ‘their way.’
And ‘dealing with them’ in order to achieve a resolution of the secular problems that they have injected into the church’s polity means ‘trusting them.’
“Trust” means that they will be open and above board, that they will keep their word in both intent and action, that they will not engage in obfuscating subterfuges, that they won’t have both a public agenda and a hidden agenda, etc.
Rignt now, I have far far more trust in +Martyn Minns than I have in the Presiding Bishop of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church and many of its bishops.
