BB, I had just...Very interesting point, Ed McNeill.<br />BB, I had just posted this on T 1:9:<br />" "We understand Resolution D025 to be more <b>descriptive</b> than prescriptive in natureāa statement that reaffirms commitments already made by The Episcopal Church and that acknowledges certain realities of our common life. Nothing in the Resolution goes beyond what has already been provided under our Constitution and Canons for many years." How they reconcile this with Integrity's and SR's triumphant trumpeting to the press that their goals to <b>move beyond</b> B033 have been achieved, I can't quite grasp - 'moving beyond' something is wholly different from describing where a body is at a given moment. If logic doesn't show them this maybe they should review the basic laws of physics....<br />They appear also to suppose that no one in the UK reads the paper or is otherwise aware of the obviously different spin from theirs that is being put on the GC's actions."<br /><br />The very same dissonance between the PB letters and the Integrity press releases caught my attention as yours. Your post here laying it all out is excellent (I would think it even clearer w/o the Paul Simon and Bob Dylan lyrics, in fact). It needs to be said louder and more noticeably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-18455785916363871482009-07-17T18:47:18.731-04:002009-07-17T18:47:18.731-04:00Bp.

It is possible that this letter will be available throughout Episcopal Churches on Sunday, before the ABC responds.Ed McNeillhttp://www.newanglicanchurch.comnoreply@blogger.com
