Anglican Reconciliation…not
by David Virtue, VOL:
Reconciliation. It has been the buzzword of hope since the Anglican Church of Canada approved same sex marriage in 2002. Liberals since then have done their best to push and cajole orthodox Anglicans into believing that they can square the circle over pansexuality.
Anglican leaders across the globe have tried and failed. Repeatedly.
The most recent attempt was a Westminster Abbey seminar exploring ‘conflict and reconciliation’ in the Anglican Communion in advance of the 2020 Lambeth conference.
Lectures were offered up by representatives from the Church of the Province of West Africa, the Church of England, The Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Church of Canada — plus one ecumenical partner. Not a single representative from an orthodox province or diocese was present. The outcome was foreordained.
Of course, the speakers could not ignore the elephant in the Abbey, namely that “human sexuality remains a divisive topic, though reconciliation may be possible through appreciation for creation, deep listening and following ecumenical examples toward unity.” Posh.
The Episcopal Church has been “deep listening” since the consecration of homosexualist Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire and 100,000 Episcopalians walked out the door to form the ACNA, never more to return. Did this skip the minds of the deep thinkers at the Abbey, or did they think they could whitewash it away with high sounding talk about the “Christian theology of cultural diversity being based in two fundamental church doctrines: the act of creation and unity of the human race, and the universality of the church.” Say what?
