AMiA Bishop Says TEC Will Experience Lingering, Withering Death

[VirtueOnline] 7 June 2007--VOL: You have been in the forefront of the battle in the Episcopal Church for over 40 years; do you have a sense that we are reaching the end of the road here in the U.S.?

RODGERS: I sense that we are approaching a decision point. What is now apparent is that the crisis is not only in TEC but in the Anglican Communion itself. The Western Provinces and the provinces that they have deeply influenced are as compromised as TEC. I suspect that the issue over attendance at Lambeth 2008 may be that point. However I have thought that we were about to face the facts in the past and been disappointed. Perhaps the fact that TEC is so clearly unrepentant and the continuing loss of members in Churches where the biblical Faith is truncated or contradicted may help both us and the Global South take the needed action.
