I had heard that years ago St Michael's and All Angels was an Anglo-Catholic congregation. 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.
ReplyDeleteHow di St Michael's and all Angels end up in the liberal camp?

Hi Al,
ReplyDeleteI do not think your second half of your second sentence follows from the first half.
It is for St Michael's and All Angel's church to describe themselves!
"It is for St Michael's and All Angel's church to describe themselves!"
ReplyDeleteWell, yes - as Humpty Dumpty said, "When I use a word, it means exactly what I want it to mean..."
I am not sure which "second half" of my sentence you are refering to, but the evidence of Schori's heterodoxy (not to mention theoological thinness) is pretty abundant. 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.
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.
