Now that the Episcopal church, has elected a woman Presiding Bishop, and has spit into the face of the Anglican Communion and Catholic Doctrine there can be no excuse for idleness; and remaining in a Church that is basically a "liturgical Unitarian" Church. (and i actually even hesitate to use the word Church they would probably prefer "family" or "community"). I can only hope that this will be the final straw and brake the camel's back. (for its seems that's the only way to get the camel through that eye of the needle and into the kingdom of God). I'm so grateful that i will be in the formation process to the holy priesthood in the Diocese of Quincy under the auspices of Bishop Ackerman the president of Forward in Faith. I know he will do the right thing. I've already heard that the Diocese of Ft. Worth has made an appeal to the Archbishop of Canterbury to set up another (separate) province in American under his authority (a similar appeal is also being debated in England). This will split the church and i can only be grateful. I'm an Anglo-Catholic Anglican. I'm not a high church Unitarian.
I can only hope that this will not drive more people to Rome. Rome is not the answer and if you doubt me walk into your local Roman Catholic parish and you'll see the Liturgy of the Mass treated like a lunch buffet (pick-nick table and all). Yes Rome has authority and the Magisterium promotes Catholic doctrine.... but that's because it has had great popes recently but that certainly wasn't always the case and it still may be not be the case in the future. The true remnant of Catholic Anglicans have to stand up and defend the Church. A true Revolution is needed but one that is grounded in the authority of the Church (not just a schism). And perhaps even our continuing Anglican friends can join us.
I afraid of disaster but i'm ready to take part in revolutionary destruction and reconstruction. And i sincerely think that its a great and exciting time to be an Anglican. May God defend us.
