It is a sad commentary that we should be pleased that an Anglican bishop can turn out a basically orthodox sermon from time to time. It would be like congratualting the police or army for frequently doing their job.<br />Anglo-Catholicism isn't defined by haberdashery or even an over-fondness for incense. It understands itself as the spiritual continuation of Western Catholicism, but ruled by Canterbury, not Rome. It has never championed WO or SSU's. These are modern Protestant innovations.<br />Al MynorsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-51745683830811635712010-06-28T05:53:00.300+12:002010-06-28T05:53:00.300+12:00Hi Al,

If they are hosting Schori, that is a sign the Anglo-Catholic movement in ACANZP must be pretty near dead - not just because she is a woman bishop in the Anglican world but because in many other ways her theology is quite heterodox.<br />How di St Michael's and all Angels end up in the liberal camp?<br />Al mynorsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
