Americans if you think you know it all about us because you do not care for GHW Bush, not so much. ;;sigh;; <br /><br />FWIW<br />jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674064810664714323.post-89603511937261725342011-02-17T17:43:53.061+00:002011-02-17T17:43:53.061+00:00This question is a bit off-topic, but I honestly d...This question is a bit off-topic, but I honestly don't know the answer and am hoping that someone else does. It occurred to me as I was reading jimB's statement: "In fact section four does permit the archbishop of Canterbury ... to impose sanctions ... on those he chooses to persecute. Without ratification, he ... [has] already attacked two provinces."<br /><br />When +Rowan was at Georgetown in 2007 working on his Dostoevsky book*, did he ever attend Sunday worship at a local parish of The Episcopal Church? (Jim Naughton said on The Lead at the time that +Rowan had not done so on previous visits.) I absolutely understand that +Rowan did not want to dress up in cope-and-mitre and go solemnly stalking about (as we used to call it!) while he was in town. He wanted to keep his presence low-key, and I appreciate that. But did he never slip quietly into a rear pew at an early Eucharist at an Episcopal Church?<br /><br />If you want to know about Dostoevsky or Arius, +Rowan may be your man. The Anglican Communion, perhaps not so much.<br /><br />*A book on Dostoevsky is certainly a valuable contribution to the world's literary studies. But perhaps, all things considered, there was an issue of priorities.WSJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712152737422347034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674064810664714323.post-13801770960375469892011-02-17T02:21:54.780+00:002011-02-17T02:21:54.780+00:00Point taken.

In the past I have noted what I call the "sin of institutionalism" and I think you are describing its manifestations when you identify what the Lambeth sycophants have offered. But that is a miss in this post I suppose. <br /><br />FWIW<br />jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674064810664714323.post-63370188626109863362011-02-15T04:49:01.491+00:002011-02-15T04:49:01.491+00:00I think, with respect, that you've missed one ...I think, with respect, that you've missed one group. You've covered te Convenantskeptics and the "traditionalists" and so-called "orthodox. But you've missed the Communion fundtionaries and the Lambeth Palace hangers on.<br /><br />This last group have not taken the same "effectualist" tack as the "traditionlists" and so-called "orthodox" at all. Instead, they have offered up bland reassurances, viscious ad hominems and manipulative emotional blackmail.<br /><br />Essentially Rowan's assorted groupies have argued thus:<br /><br />"The Covenant really doesn't force anyone to do anything. If you object to the Covenant you're a fascist. If the CVovenant is defeated it would hurt poor Rowan's feelings."Malcolm+https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469936715413110334noreply@blogger.com
