DOG BITES MAN

In today’s episode of “Adventures in the Blindingly Obvious,” the Communion Partners weigh in on the lesbian:

"It is with profound sorrow that we, the Communion Partner Bishops and Rectors, express our deepest regret to our brothers and sisters in the Anglican Communion for the action of the majority of the diocesan bishops and standing committees of the dioceses of The Episcopal Church in voting to consent to the consecration as a bishop of a woman living in a sexual relationship outside Christian marriage. Unfortunately, where restraint was respectfully requested by the leadership of the Communion, it has been ignored. Where the General Convention has counseled study of the Anglican Covenant, this action has rendered that counsel moot.

"Therefore, we disassociate ourselves from this action and grieve the state of separation that exists in The Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion. This separation is a witness to the need for the Anglican Covenant as the means through which dioceses and congregations in The Episcopal Church can affirm their commitment to the Anglican Communion."

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wrong. “The state of separation that exists in The Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion,” Gracie?

What “state of separation” might that be? There is no “state of separation” between TEO and the Communion. Dr. Williams saw to that in 2008 when he invited the Episcopalians to the Lambeth Conference whilst also seeing to it that the current controversy would never be seriously and honestly addressed.

If the Episcopalians spend the next six years thinking over the Covenant, they will, at worst, be only second-division Anglicans during that time. And everyone knows that TEO could approve the Covenant tomorrow and consecrate five or six more homosexual bishops the day after that, secure in the knowledge that the Covenant is meaningless and that nothing whatsoever will happen to their “official” Anglican status.

For the love of God, wake the hell up.
