Time for a Silent Watch?


The more I think about this "report" from the "special commission" the more I think it may be wise just to keep watch - and stay silent. There is something about this report that is like a bait, promising everything. Isn't that rather disingenuous - especially after the leaders of the church were proclaiming not so long ago that this was a prophetic decision for the Episcopal Church? Why now all these promises? The report promises everything, like a bait and switch. How does a church go from prophetic proclamations to making such disingenuous promises? It just doesn't ring true. So, we stay silent, we keep watch, and we wait.

BB,

I think Ephraim Radner gets it about right in his analysis of the Report. End result - not good enough.
