I didn’t intend to go on a “Blame Canada� spree
Here’s the latest example. While they throw their authority at orthodox Canadian Anglicans and sometimes abuse their authority to out and out persecute them, they at the same time ignore the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury (not exactly a Funde himself) and of the Anglican Communion.
Yes, yes, I know. The Anglican Communion is a collegial body and doesn’t do authority like the Catholics, etc. But still, ++Williams and the Primates have firmly asked the Canadians not to go forward with their gay marriage agenda. Yet the Canadian Church is plowing right ahead with complete disregard for the rest of the AC.
Lefties used to have a slogan, “F*** Authority!� I guess they have amended that to “F*** Authority (except for mine, of course)!�
Archbishop Bernard Malango, a member of the Lambeth Commission has said it well: “These people are going berserk. They do not care about the Anglican Communion. They can do whatever they want but they must know they have separated themselves from the Anglican Communion. They are causing disgrace to the whole Church. They are acting without consultation and without thinking of the life of the communion.�
Maybe Canadian actions along with the continuing problems in the U. S. Episcopal Church will push the Lambeth Commission to call for real realignment in the AC. That may be wishful thinking, but one can pray and hope.
By the way, the chairman of the Lambeth Commission says they are on schedule. It looks like they had better be.
