no, I won’t mind at all if Dunoon and Rothesay have tiny little congregations on the third of August because you have all decided to go to Glasgow. Would that I could be there too.

I am coming somewhat belatedly to the stream of commentary on (the) TEC’s House of Bishop’s meeting at the start of the week.
The muddle of responses suggests they found a true compromise position: no one happy, no one sure whether to sulk or be glad it wasn’t worse.
I will admit a part of me [...]

Now that you’ve all had a chance to read primary sources, a little something from the BBC interview with +Mark Sist from the diocese of New York:
BBC Do you feel as if you are being asked to choose between the communion on the one hand and on the other the gay and lesbian members of [...]

I haven’t posted anything about the recent Primate’s meeting because the web has been awash with news. But increasingly, the volume of news is becoming confusing and there is a shocking lack of truth telling in some quarters.
