MORONIC CONVERGENCE

from Midwest Conservative Journal by The Editor

Pointless woman visits useless churches:

Two Christian denominations in Europe — one in full communion with the Episcopal Church and the other exploring the potential for such a relationship — welcomed Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori this week for key talks and a keynote address, a signal that many global ecumenical relations are in fine shape and continue to be strengthened.

Following a three-day visit to the (Lutheran) Church of Sweden, with which the Episcopal Church is hoping to formalize a full-communion partnership, Jefferts Schori traveled to Utrecht in the Netherlands to deliver the Quasimodo Lecture, an annual event hosted by the Old Catholic Church.

I saw the joke, I’m not touching it and I’d advise you not to either.

Significance? Not much. Two more provinces have just accepted the Anglican Covenant which means that that complete waste of time may actually see the light of day so the Episcopalians might have to accept second-division status in the Anglican Communion.

Kate may be driving home the fact that regardless of what Canterbury does, New York will still claim international street cred, as minimal as that might be, the leadership in whatever new international “communion” that may emerge from the Anglican wreckage as well and the considerable secular news media attention that will go with it.

Follow the money, as they say.
