The Shriveling Anglican Communion
by David Virtue, VOL:
WHEN the Archbishop of Canterbury meets with his bishops in Rome next week, the most obvious feature of the event will be the absence of the orthodox wing of the Anglican Communion.
Notably absent will be the GAFCON bishops and, presumably, the majority of the GSFA bishops who will meet later in Cairo in June to plot their own way forward, sans the leadership of Justin Welby. Together they represent more than 75% of the Anglican Communion.
The terrifying aspect in all this is that the ABC feels no shame at the absence of the largest, most well-attended provinces of the communion, and that he is the cause of their absence.
Fudging human sexuality has not been a winning ticket for him or the communion, with his own church, the Church of England in total disarray over the blessings of same sex unions. The Church of England has twisted it’s knickers so much over this that it has turned into a pretzel, once bent it becomes baked-in rigid.
Terms like “generous orthodoxy” invented by the late PB Frank Griswold, and a Windsor Report have failed to turn the tide of “why can’t we all just get along,” with Lambeth resolution 1:10 still hanging like a Sword of Damocles Sword over the Communion.
That the tide of homosexual behavior rolled over The Episcopal Church resulting in a split, seems not to move the needle in the Church of England. The CofE pansexualists are as determined as their American counterpart to push and push till they win. That has been the history of the last 40 years, and all the lofty analysis by orthodox theologians has failed to stop the homosexual steamroller.
The American Episcopal Church now has a raft of homoerotically practicing bishops of both persuasions, with the church ready to embrace its first transgender bishop when the first potential occupant sporting a penis in high heels arises from the ecclesiastical gutter. A miter on such an aberration will be the fun of Tik Tok.
