More on open communion

Here’s some succinct comments on open communion from retired orthodox Episcopal bishop William Wantland.

He helpfully spells out what the ECUSA canons are on this question. And, yes, those liberals who want to open communion to everyone would be violating those canons. Oh, but I forgot . . . ECUSA canons are only for use against conservatives. Liberals are given a pass because they are so right.

Or as the good bishop notes, “It appears that too many in the Episcopal Church are either ignorant of the teaching of the Church, or simply don't care.� Since ECUSA liberals oft and suddenly become canonical fundamentalists when it suits their ends, I don’t think ignorance is the problem.
