Bishop Of Albany Will Call Special Convention If TEC Relationship To AC Threatened

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/3544/

[Stand Firm] 11 June 2007--The Bishop of Albany, the Rt. Rev. William H. Love, told 900 delegates to the 139th Annual Convention of the Diocese that he would hold a special convention if the Episcopal Church or the wider Anglican Communion takes any action that "threatens our continued relationship with either to deal with whatever confronts us."

"It is my hope and prayer that there will never be a need to do so. This Diocese since its founding in 1868 has always been part of the Episcopal Church and as such has always been part of the Anglican Communion. We need one another and by the grace of God will always be part of one another," he said.

"I hereby call upon the House of Bishops and the Archbishop of Canterbury and all the primates of the Anglican Communion to heed the Lord's call as revealed in II Chronicles 7:14 - '"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.'" God have mercy on us, if we choose any other path."
