Confusion at meetings w...Thank you for this post. <br /><br />Confusion at meetings where you have church parlimentarians is, in my experience, quite common. Church "leaders" may, out of ignorance or gullibility, be easily misled into thinking they are following proper procedure, or they may be fatigued, rear-end weary, or worse yet, scheming to take advantage of the less politically astute members of the body. The end result confusion and perseveration.<br /><br />This meeting seems to demonstrate all of the above elements.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-82898269426404046182009-05-10T21:15:00.000-07:002009-05-10T21:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the wrap up, Mr. Haley.

Nevertheless, I am mildly curious to see his next move. Will he apologize? Ammend? Un-manipulate what has been manipulated? Remain silent? Take an emergency sabbatical? Uh, quit?David Turneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373447550640392559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-15658037738441183332009-05-10T20:56:00.000-07:002009-05-10T20:56:00.000-07:00This disgusting mess stinks of corruption and hypo...This disgusting mess stinks of corruption and hypocrisy. I feel deeply sorry for the many people who went to the meeting in good faith, believing they were going to participate in a true council of the Church. <br /><br />"When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eye examines them. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates."<br /><br />I find myself consoled by the following thought. Isn't the Lord giving the TEC liberals just enough rope to hang themselves? If they push their slate through at GC2009, as seems very likely, surely this will make the whole issue of the covenant irrelevant anyway? With such a blatant demonstration of selfish indifference to the rest of the AC, surely even the gentlest bishop from the Global South must see that any covenant that TEC would sign must be utterly worthless.<br /><br />We will probably lose the AC, at least in its present form. Well, after ACC-14, can we honestly say it is worth saving? We must trust that our Lord protects and guides his Church, and go forward praying and working for a new AC to evolve, bolstered by a resurgent and spiritually vigourous orthodox province from North America, that can offer the peoples of the earth the true "hope and a future" that he intends.Topperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537239370392917165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-83414708864426822372009-05-10T16:26:00.000-07:002009-05-10T16:26:00.000-07:00Lundy: "(spirit of confusion here . . . btw . . ....<B>Lundy</B>: <I>"(spirit of confusion here . . . btw . . .
