The fallout from the ECUSA's General Convention continues. Diocese are requesting alternative oversight, Churches are in disarray. The various blogs are teeming with opinion couched as fact and facts questioned as sophistry. A simple country Anglican is left adrift. It should come as no suprise that the author of this particular site is of a conservative bent. Not conservative from a political standpoint as much as from a theological tradition.
The election of the PB-Elect has resulted in more knee-jerk reactions than a neurologist sees in a lifetime of exams. While cooler heads may prevail and the 'middle' reign triumphant, it is unlikely. And it should be unlikely. These are serious theological issues that cannot be brushed aside in the quest for peace and equanimity. The differences are as deep as bedrock and as solid.
My lay reading of theology from Gnosticism to Panentheism, humanist to orthodox have left me with definite beliefs and opinions. In this authors humble opinion, a Schism is inbound and there is little anyone on Earth can do to avert it.
