[BabyBlueOnline] 24 Mar 2007--The meeting of the House of Bishops this week at Camp Allen in Navasota, Texas may prove to be an historic turning point in the life of the Anglican Communion. The Bishops overwhelmingly rejected a “Pastoral Scheme” that was proposed by the Primates of the Anglican Communion at their February meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. By doing so, the bishops reaffirmed that the Episcopal Church is a self-governing, autonomous church, and that it is not divided. We also served notice that we cannot accept intervention in the governance of our Church by foreign prelates.

Note the emphasis on "foreign prelates." This represents an attempt upon the part of the liberal and revisionist bishops of The Episcopal Church to recast the schism that they have created between The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, in terms of the English colonies' war for independence against British rule. However, rejecting the apostolic faith and embracing a different Gospel and a new religion are a far cry from the American War for Independence.
