In response to liquaeruta, writing on 3 November 2015, might we observe:<br /> The mote may well be in our eye for cleaving too much to tradition and the comfort of repetition, tradition, sameness, constancy, and the fighting of the Devil as a Lighthouse might fight the Storm.<br /> The beam, however is certainly in the eye of those who worship the ills and defects that afflict men's souls, and who demand that we also must endorse what has been taught to be degeneracy and the destruction of the temples of the Lord that our bodies and souls represent. They brought the fight to us. We sing "God rest ye merry, Gentlemen", and we are condemned for being sexist. We urge that the folks should "turn from their wicked ways and live", and we are told that we are not being inclusive, when the very urging, demand, request itself is a plea that the wayward return to the path of righteousness and unite with the rest of us.<br /> At each juncture, we were told that we had to make the Church more open and inclusive in order to "grow the Church". With each improvement the pews became, almost always, more vacant.<br /><br /> Kudos to Finch and the majority of our contributors who are kind enough to tolerate my lamentations. We share the obvious burden being borne by our Rabbi, who once again in a thorough and meticulous way, with profound reasoning and obvious heaviness in his heart, has defined the probable future of the "Anglican Communion".<br /><br />El Gringo ViejoDavid Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-47053518404388468872015-11-04T05:37:07.117-08:002015-11-04T05:37:07.117-08:00When the heresy charges against Bishop Righter in ...When the heresy charges against Bishop Righter in 1996, I knew I had to find a new home. It took me 6 years to do it, but in 2002 I was chrismated into the Orthodox Church when I realized had finally found my way home.

As the Chief Justice remarked in the SC Supreme Court about both sides of dispute that is currently before the court " these actions are not loving." Bearing one another's burdens" - which we were called to do by our loving Saviour - seems very far away from all this. I think Jonathan Swift - sometime Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral Dublin - summed it up well with these words:<br />"People have just enough religion to hate each other but not enough to love each other." Shouldn't we all start to try to love each other gather than rejoice in what will be a shattered finality of failure. liquafrutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566646426303270101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-84145462186070511212015-10-30T21:39:13.994-07:002015-10-30T21:39:13.994-07:00The Anglican realignment which began with the ACNA...The Anglican realignment which began with the ACNA and Global South continues to unfold. The actions we take now may result in the emergence of a revitalized Anglican Fellowship worldwide. My book, Anglican Manifesto, is devoted to the fulfillment of this process. <br /><br />I invite you to visit anglicanmanifesto.com. Read the reviews posted by Martin Davie, from Wycliffe House, Oxford; Bishop Keith Ackerman, Forward in Faith; and Justyn Terry, Dean of Trinity School for Ministry. <br /><br />Survey the site, read the book, and add your own comments and thoughts on the comment page.<br /><br />May God bless you and your parish, as we stand for the "faith once delivered to the saints."

However, I'm not ordained but am mystified why, before the January event would take place, appropriate conservative bishops in the Anglican Communion would not simply clearly inform Canterbury that their attendance at such meeting would, (as Mr. Haley's post successfully (and thankfully) clarifies), obviously achieve a negative result for many unless a specific principle is made clear to all invitees by Canterbury in advance of the meeting. That principle, consistent with Biblical truth and even the basic principle of the U.S. Constitution, is that the Communion is not based on the acts and virtues of personages but on principles, and following that truth, in the absence of action by certain provinces along the lines in item 1. of Mr. Haley's post, Canterbury would, as it must to follow those principles, take appropriate action along the lines of item 2.a. of Mr. Haley's post. I recall wise teaching in Proverbs about not stepping into troubling situations, and I believe that applies to the prospective attendance of conservative bishops at the subject meeting.williamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462159892385010372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-60137922214609323652015-10-29T15:13:32.264-07:002015-10-29T15:13:32.264-07:00Maybe hacked by some people from the "12"...Maybe hacked by some people from the "12" provinces? :-)BillBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593147581583316765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-19345374743283651342015-10-29T13:32:36.913-07:002015-10-29T13:32:36.913-07:00Thank you for your astute analysis.

As usual, this blog posts takes an in depth look at the various options facing millions of Anglicans while relying on a solid foundation of historic Christian thought. As Topper said, above, I hope you do not decide to end your blog. It is the most balanced and carefully thought out blog around. Thank you for hours upon hours of hard work to get all the facts about the legal law suits, the efforts to distort legal frameworks in the courts and the twists and turns in the areas where Anglicans have stood up for the Gospel.

While I understand your work must frequently be unpleasant, it is surely a very important ministry whose need will continue into the future? I, personally, have often been blessed and edified by your blog, and I hope you do not decide to end it.Topperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537239370392917165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-19794225580385661362015-10-28T09:02:59.808-07:002015-10-28T09:02:59.808-07:00I salute you, Mr. Haley.

You've given wonderfully enhanced observations that allows the general public to grasp hold of each unfolding wrinkle. We are forever indebted to your wisdom (God inspired as it is), for it has kept us anchored in these turbulent times. With your ominous words of strength, I fear a time where they are not present, for unarmed many will go. Yet, I give thanks to our Father, and we all salute you. Thank you for your endeavor of love.
