Happenings in Episcopalian America
Things are afoot in The Episcopalian Church (TEC): the Anglican church in the USA. Basically, both the laity and the bishops have voted to continue with the existing movement towards acceptance of homosexual clergy and of the blessing of homosexual marriages and partnerships. Bishop Tom Wright has a very well-reasoned article in The Times where he bemoans not only what he sees as the "snub" to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the proposed Anglican Constitution, but also the theology behind the move. I have to disagree with him, and many or his premises. I think that the rest of the Communion is moving too slowly, and although I'm sorry that TEC are likely to be severely censured, I have to applaud their honesty and courage in following their understanding of the movement of the Holy Spirit.Job stuff - had another interview (phone again). We'll see.

Thanks for the post on TEC, Mike. It is so good to hear supportive words like that from across the Atlantic.
