I regard that as an excellent sign.Craig Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599485715178418928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-77170749807395969992007-12-14T18:33:00.000-05:002007-12-14T18:33:00.000-05:00An Advent Letter is simply not the place to go on ...An Advent Letter is simply not the place to go <I>on and on and on</I> about the current conflict.

And I must confess: I have not "read it all". And that's just the point. It is very long, very nuanced, perhaps self contradictory at face value. I cannot muster the hope and trust in ++Rowan necessary to "move forward" under his leadership. But fortunately, the hope of Advent is in the coming of Christ. That is hope I still have.Judith Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206408819459650728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-52321740428157740892007-12-14T12:54:00.000-05:002007-12-14T12:54:00.000-05:00BabyBlue,At Truro on Sunday, Tory Baucum announced...BabyBlue,<BR/><BR/>At Truro on Sunday, Tory Baucum announced that there were "seismic shifts" going on in Anglicanism. He explained that, although it appears that nothing has changed, that changes are afoot.<BR/><BR/>But the letter from ++Williams seems to be more of the same. "We've talked about it. TEC will not change its mind by talking about it more. So I've convened another panel to talk about it.<BR/><BR/>There doesn't seem to anything "seismic" here. His writing proves that he understands the orthodox position, but he is offering no action in response to it.<BR/><BR/>I am discouraged. Do you have any words to encourage me?<BR/><BR/>Love your work.<BR/><BR/>Vivian J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
