The Co-Chair of the CLC [Colorado] Sends a Resignation Letter

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/10339/

[Stand Firm] 26 Feb 2008--Deb Tenney, who is a friend and ally, has written a letter of resignation from the CLC, which is the grass-roots organization of traditional laity and clergy in the Episcopal diocese of Colorado. It is a fine organization and I wish every diocese had one. As I have stated before on numerous occasions, I believe that the organizations that are tasked or called to fight a strategic, resistance battle within TEC should be made up of members of TEC. Otherwise -- as with other organizations of note from the past decade -- the goals and values of one group win out over the goals and values of the other group and bitterness on all sides ensues as both groups feel betrayed. That does not preclude, however, mutual and cross-boundaried fellowship groups, which are entirely different creatures.

I am posting Deb's letter below, as I believe that this is a model of clarity, decisiveness, responsibility, freedom, and grace. Thank you, Deb, and may God bless you in your leadership in other battles over other Little Stone Bridges to which I am confident that God will call you [after suitable R & R, of course.]
