Mark Harris Offers his Covenant

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/3570/

[Stand Firm] 12 June 2007--I would point out to Mark Harris, though, that what he's suggesting is placing papal-like authority in the hands of a primus inter pares, something I can't imagine his fellow travellers would ever endorse, indeed something they have railed against for years; and in any event which seems to contradict squarely the previous paragraph I quoted. I would also suggest that no matter which side of this debate one finds oneself on, we should be very careful about proposing what Harris is proposing - that such sweeping authority be wielded by one person who at the moment just happens to have an unlimited well of patience regarding rebellious provinces. There may very well come a time when the person occupying that office holds starkly different views on one's pet cause.
