Archbishop Bob Duncan speaks at the provincial council of the Anglican Church of North America. As with all synodical speeches there is some minutiea but there is some profundity also. I particularly appreciate the comments about reorganisation so that they are focussed on the future of mission rather than on the past history marked by [...]

Anglican Geometry
Friday, June 18th, 2010Came across an old article (2006) by Graham Kings which draws up a fascinating quadratic for analysing differing positions in the Anglican Communion. 1. ‘Federal Conservatives’, in the bottom right, consists of those who are conservative on sexual ethics but who do not consider highly the ecclesiology of the Windsor Report and especially its warnings [...]
COE & ACNA
Thursday, February 11th, 2010One of the more interesting things discussed at the Church of England’s General Synod was a proposed motion to recognise the Anglican Church in North America made up of conservative Anglicans who have found themselves unable to continue as members of the revisionist-dominated Episcopal Church (USA) and Anglican Church of Canada. The original motion was [...]
The Personal Side of Anglican Politics
Thursday, January 28th, 2010What its like to be thrown out of your church and home. Matt Kennedy writes at StandFirm.
Some legalities in Canada
Friday, November 27th, 2009David Virtue reports on some movements in the legal action between the Anglican Church of Canada and four parishes in British Columbia that have realigned to ACNA. I think we should expect to see more of this sort of various-shades-of-grey result with no clear “winners.” Times of messiness ahead. “The 98 page decision is very [...]
Sydney Synod Signs off on Some things
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Under the banner “Sydney welcomes ACNA” ACL have posted the text of a resolution which amongst other things, “expresses its desire to be in full communion with the ACNA.” There is slightly more to it than that, however, as the motion also “urges all Anglicans to reject the Vatican’s proposal” of a Personal Ordinariate. Furthermore [...]
A Small But Significant Decision
Friday, September 25th, 2009Among other places, Virtue Online reports: The Supreme Court of South Carolina resolved a long-running dispute between All Saints Church, Pawleys Island, and the Diocese of South Carolina. In a unanimous ruling written by Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal, the court said that the Episcopal Church’s Dennis Canon does not create a trust. The congregation [...]
Wright on Rowan
Friday, July 31st, 2009The voice of the centre, N. T. Wright, has reflected on Rowan Williams’ reflections: Some interesting consideration of the context: I have tried to bear in mind that the Archbishop is himself not only an Instrument of Unity but the one which has to hold on to everything at this moment. Lambeth 2008 didn’t say [...]
TEC GC – CoE to consider recognising ACNA
Saturday, July 18th, 2009A few posts sorting out the wheat from the chaff with regard to reactions to TEC’s General Convention. The Church of England’s General Synod has been meeting at the same time also. There has been a move to introduce a motion (at the next session in February) that would call for the recognition of the [...]
Communion-ications: Bp. Schofield interview
Sunday, July 5th, 2009Bp. John-David Schofield of San Joaquin – the first Diocese to realign from TEC – is interviewed by Anglican TV. Interesting observation – while San Joaquin was under the Province of the Southern Cone he respected Abp. Venable’s wishes that the diocese not receive parishes realigning in other dioceses, outside the borders of San Joaquin. [...]
