DCNY has taken a small change in direction due to some information that the editor has received about what information parishioners are receiving from their parish priests. I have been told that parishioners in the Diocese of Central NY are not being informed about what is going on at the national level of The Episcopal Church, nor what is happening in the Anglican Communion. Apparently, parish priests in our diocese believe that the best course of action is keeping their people in the dark about the realignment that is happening in ecusa and the Anglican Communion.
Update: I had the above confirmed at our recently concluded diocesan convention. There I was told by two rectors that they purposely keep their people in the dark about what is happening in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion so that they can focus on "local ministry." I wonder what will happen in these places when their people hear that ecusa has been disciplined by the Anglican Communion - sidelined or kicked out? Maybe that won't matter to their people. Who knows?
Continuing from 8/31: DCNY will continue to publish articles that pertain to actions within our diocese, but also articles that explain what is going on nationally and internationally. The light of Christ is shining out in remarkable ways in ecusa as parishes aligned with the Anglican Communion Network and other Anglican bodies in the United States and Canada are joining to work together for the kingdom of God. Thanks be to God.
