Its good to see our Episcopal friends standing up to some to the bullying they are getting from the more ‘global’ Anglican communion. Always living in the shadow of colonialism, perhaps having a new leader who identifies with being an outsider will help this church to develop the strength to move on to more pressing issues than preserving a rather clubby connection to the past.
Update on March 28–more evidence of spine in this quote from a conservative church member in Colorado–quoted in todays NYT: “There was a lot of scrambling over the weekend. We thought that the House of Bishops would delay and obfuscate like they usually do. Everyone here was just shocked that they were so decisive in spurning the rest of the communion.”
