Please don't read Bishop Iker's remarks to mean that he believes a new province won't be possible if CANA or Pittsburgh, with their female alleged presbyters, are part of it. Having a significant pro-WO contingent within it isn't ideal, but from my perspective it ought not keep the new province from coming into being. (Personally, I hope that once it forms we can "grandmother" them out, and I think that is quite possible.)Texanglican (R.W.

I know that Bishop Iker made some comments about "full communion" not being possible and the whole WOMEN thing has been a MAJOR discussion in the REC. <BR/><BR/>The "Federation" part has been what has kept people happy so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468413.post-49570362141513759702007-12-19T21:05:00.000-06:002007-12-19T21:05:00.000-06:00Newbie, I spoke this afternoon with a participant ...Newbie, I spoke this afternoon with a participant in the meeting (A FiFNA representative from our diocese) who said the meeting went well with a very positive spirit. He was quite well pleased. And very much encouraged that full unity will one day be achieved.<BR/><BR/>And I would not read too much into APA's delay. They could not act officially on anything related to it until their Synod in June 2008, from what I understand. Of course, I have no doubt that there are "die hards" in APA who will not want anything whatsoever to do with any organization that a female "presybter" within a thousand miles of it, and they may try to keep APA out. But the fears that CCP has too much evangelical influence would surely be put to rest by the participation of Fort Worth, Quincy and San Joaquin. I think they will sign up when they get a chance to pass judgment on it.Texanglican (R.W. Foster+)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07490925636491370254noreply@blogger.com
