I had a very productive couple of days reading about authority in the Anglican church. It has left me wondering that things have kept together as long as they have and marvelling that God must be working in there because there is no other way that it would still be chugging along.
Important things to note:
- Anglicans outside the C of E have addressed many problems that we, in our relations with the state, are still wondering about.
- There have been some very amusingly named bishops .
- Most of the problems seem to stem from confusion (often wilful) over terminology and what it means. Definitely a case of being divided by a common language.
- The Churches of North and South India respectively are an example to us all
- It seems not to be necessary to know how to use commas in order to publish books on Anglican authority.
- Double standards seem to be mandatory when working ecumenically
