LET YOUR YES BE YES
I think most people would agree, as the saying goes, that honesty is the best policy. At the end of the day, it’s better to be straight with people than to deceive them. The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans/GAFCON group would like to establish a parallel jurisdiction for traditionalist British Anglicans:
The Primates of the FCA have assured us that, through instruments now available in this country, including the panel of bishops of the Anglican Mission in England and the FCA UK, those who might otherwise have been under pressure to leave the Church of England can remain within the family of global Anglicanism and be recognized by that body as faithful to the Church of England itself.
At the FCA Leadership Conference this Monday, Archbishop Eliud Wabukala reported in his Chairman’s keynote address: ‘Last year, it became clear that provision needs to be made for England too. The Anglican Mission in England was formed last June after four years of discussion with senior Anglican leaders in England had failed to find a way in which those genuinely in need of effective orthodox oversight in the Church of England could receive it’.
The AMiE has already acted to provide oversight to churches, including arranging the ordination of some ministers. For the future it is ready to extend this ministry, and to expand its panel of bishops accordingly. Parish Incumbents who affirm the Jerusalem Declaration are invited to meet on Wednesday 27th June to pray and make progress together.
A regular commenter at Jim Naughton’s who calls himself Leonardo Ricardo responded.
The only Anglicans insisting and demanding that they are the all-holy/all-knowing and ¨better thans¨ are the same Anglicans who can NOT serve or minister properly or serve their tortured/desperate citizens in their blood flowing cultures at home…the powerful attraction to the GAFCON meet-ups must be purely driven FEAR, hate/jealousy, greed and/or desperation.
In the face of superstition, vertical corruption, alcoholism/drug addiction, basic incompetance (money mismanagement) and moral defeat (Nigeria, Uganda, Jamaica/West Indies come to mind)the grass appears greener in England, Canada, the Americas and beyond.
Of course people are going to rush to God when they are in horrible and unthinkable daily pain but where is the God of love amongst the schismatic leaders, the priestly demonizers, the unholy outcasters, the bishop poachers/thieves and the arrogant everday bigots who harm others both at home and abroad?
I shudder when I wonder what ongoing pogroms, LGBT and Heterosexual bloodbaths will ensue before these not-so-orthodox Anglicans realize the harm that do as they plot against innocents everywhere in the name of their own piety!
The comments at Jim’s site are moderated so one assumes that someone over there believed that racist crap was worth publishing and, by extension, agreeing with. But as far as I’m concerned, I’d much rather deal with a guy with an SS ring, a medallion with Hitler’s portrait on it, a Nazi Party badge, a well-thumbed copy of Mein Kampf in his library and a Nazi flag on the wall over his bed.
Because one of the ugliest of all human traits is hypocrisy.
