blahblahblahCovenantblahblah



His Grace, who has fallen from grace between his inaction and then insipid comments on Uganda while being the bully about the election in the Diocese of Los Angeles, insists on pushing this Anglican Covenant. I can see a scenario in which The Episcopal Church USA signs the stupid thing, and thus kills it because "Ewwww... they have girls and gays!" In this video statement, the Archbishop tries to tell us that this Covenant doesn't have a "penal code". But it would seem that if part four has rules for what makes you 'in communion' or 'in conflict' with the communion, then there must be some UNacceptable behaviors that will be seen as "naughty" (like consecrating LGBT as bishps perhaps??)
I'm with those in the United States who maintain we already HAVE a covenant. It's in our Book of Common Prayer, pages 304-305. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest what's there.

And for commentary from across the Atlantic on the Archbishop's statement... I advise a visit to Mad Priest and frdougal.
