The hopeful sign is that Bishop Robert Duncan himself wants the subject to be studied, and has acknowledged his past support for WO as his one and only departure from what the Church has always taught and practiced.Fr.

Having walked from our mother churches it will take a while to adapt to the independence and then we work on melding our various talents into a single structure.

Right now we are a bunch of small groups with few resources, no vision for the future, etc. And we are hoping to merge into a larger group or form a larger group that has no resources, no plan for the future, etc. That is bound to amount to nothing.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting that the articles of FACA (which CCP's are modeled after), talk about how we can do all of these amazing things, such as collaborate on Sunday school material, ordination standards, etc. But from what I have seen FACA hasn't done any of that - or anything else for that matter - since it came into being. I fear that CCP is going to be the same way.<BR/><BR/>Am I being too negative?J.

The itch for innovation seems something which none of us can resist, but the wholeness of the Anglicanism which we have all but lost can be regained only by a return and obedience to the source documents of our faith. Why is it that some who say they value Anglicanism find that so hard?<BR/><BR/>I do not find it difficult to value orthodoxy in the Orthodox or real Romanism in the adherent of the papal see, but the tendency among those who say they are Anglicans to set up several hard divisions on what they do to and with the prayer book tradition deprives all of us of a visible unity and identity which we need. This old "mere Anglican" prays for a day when unity in doctrine, discipline and worship among those of us who follow the via media of the prayer book will be a reality. Or will the Lord return first?Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.com
