As bishops charged with responsibility to uphold the unity of God’s church on earth we are painfully aware of the divisions that still impair the unity that Christ longs for and for which he shed his blood. This is not just a unity within the church ”“ though we long for this to be revealed ”“ but a unity for all God’s people and between the families of the nations.
I notice that once again it is a ‘working together’ in which:
1) No group is to be given anything at all from the Church of England despite having cared for, paid for and contributed to their churches for so many years.
2) The RC graciously accepts the lack of any help at all
I think the headline might have been ‘RC church accepts to overlook mean manner of C of E out of respect and fear of bitter recriminations’.
Not one building. Not one. And yet how many will be sold as houses, nightclubs, bars and mosques?
Rugbyplayingpriest: it sounds as though the C of E must be taking lessons from TEC. It is “funny” to see just how far liberality goes in the minds of liberals – especially when property and bank accounts are in view.
