I haven't seen anything in print yet, but I will be keeping an eye open to see what they recommend.<BR/><BR/>I think the idea (per se) of a covenant is a good start; covenants in themselves should speak to relationships (grace?) rather than law. The tricky part comes when there are elements in the covenant which are binding.<BR/><BR/>In my preliminary thoughts I consider the idea of the marriage covenant, which has as its primary focus the relationship of love, but is not without its binding elements.<BR/><BR/>This will be a very difficult path for us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761538946854485154.post-82897947939438345412008-02-10T23:34:00.000-06:002008-02-10T23:34:00.000-06:00We should be so lucky.We should be so lucky.Malcolm+https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469936715413110334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761538946854485154.post-80392143170250836622008-02-10T19:00:00.000-06:002008-02-10T19:00:00.000-06:00I have some serious reservations as well about the...I have some serious reservations as well about the whole process and what it is intended to accomplish. But maybe it will end up being like a Canadian Royal Commission... a lot of fuss which produces a long document which no one reads and which changes nothing :-)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851261237969264984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761538946854485154.post-29324418159227253392008-02-09T11:30:00.000-06:002008-02-09T11:30:00.000-06:00I'm not fond of implied reliance on the 1662 BCP a...I'm not fond of implied reliance on the 1662 BCP and 39 Articles to guide the faith of the Church, and I have some questions about the disciplinary language, but I favor the balance for giving some reasonable definition to what it is to be Anglican in a world-wide communion.Country Parsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727241474360657192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761538946854485154.post-92119722877750252992008-02-09T09:33:00.000-06:002008-02-09T09:33:00.000-06:00as i read it, no authority at all is given to the ...as i read it, no authority at all is given to the primates meeting to act against anyone. all they can do is complain to the ABC, who will, with two assessors, decide whether more should be done, and the more is under the supervision not of the complaining primates but of the ACC.<BR/><BR/>and, for the first time, our primate gets to complain too, which if she does so, will be salutary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
