Canterbury, you’ve missed the point!

[sydneyanglicans.net] 29 July 2009--You may have read my post this morning on the understanding of the term ‘historic episcopate’ in the ACNA constitution. Archbishop Rowan Williams’ Reflections on the 2009 TEC General Convention has so incensed me that I am compelled to respond with a second post for today.

It seems that the Archbishop of Canterbury has lost the plot, when he claims that resolutions D025 and C056 “do not have the automatic effect of overturning the requested moratoria, if the wording is studied carefully”. It is bad enough when the Americans obfuscate with ambiguous language, but it is a travesty of singular proportion when the leading Primate of the Anglican Communion should not only be beguiled by the subtleties of the TEC resolutions but create his own mischief with reckless indifference to the main issue at hand.

So, will the Sidney Anglicans reverse lay communion, per Williams?
