Baby Blue, I feel for Donna Bott! I imagine this poor woman (whose quote is on every orthodox blog and will likely go down in infamy) is probably well-sedated and lying on her therapist's couch even as I type.
I'm praying for her and for all the attendees at this conference.
Hopefully, as Leander Harding has proposed, there will be an extended education and prayerful discernment period for every parish to allow the parishoners to learn about such matters as theology, Scripture and Biblical morality and help them to be qualified to decide whether to ratify the proposed Anglican Covenant.
Perhaps this will give them a sound theological and moral position and help them transition, each into the place, eternal and temporal that their faith and consciences direct.
That is a very compassionate and thoughtful response, sibyl. Thank you for posting.
