Back in those days,...Nice to hear from you Edward!<br /><br />Back in those days, I wonder if either of us thought the matters we then debated would take the long-winding course they have taken till today?<br /><br />Yes, I am aware of the militarism/pacifism thought from +Jim.<br />Again, as with the eucharistic thought, there is no specific doctrinal/constitutional assent which is problematic for either a militarist or a pacifist.<br /><br />Can we find a way forward re sexuality which does not create difficulty around what is assented to?Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-38488955623378691732016-05-12T12:26:51.126+12:002016-05-12T12:26:51.126+12:00Hi Peter
My response to this post is sort of redun...Hi Peter<br />My response to this post is sort of redundant in the light of (non)developments in Napier reported today, but I wanted to comment anyway.<br />I found your analogy with Eucharistic theology very helpful. Another analogy, often used by Bishop Jim white, is our long-standing disagreement about pacifism V support for, and involvement in the armed forces.We seem to be able to agree to disagree in those matters, but the current disagreement on sexuality appears too difficult. Very sad.<br />Another reflection worth making. When you and I were leading the respective "sides" of this debate at General Synod a decade or so ago, it was often said that Tikanga Maori and Tikanga Polynesia would never let the "liberals" bring about change. It is profoundly significant that those two groups, despite their own internal disagreements, are both saying we should move on the issue, and are magnanimously allowing Tikanga Pakeha more time.Edward Prebblenoreply@blogger.com
