What Really Happened in New Orleans? An Anglican Schism Draws Closer

http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=1015

[Albert Mohler] 26 Sep 2007--Similarly, The New York Times reported:

The Bishop Martyn Minns of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, a prominent conservative group supported by the Archbishop of Nigeria, responded to the bishops' resolution: "They're offering business as usual. The communion asked them to make a change, to embrace the teaching of the communion about homosexuality, and there's no change at all."

This indeed appears to be the bottom line -- no change at all. This is indeed a tragedy, and one that will effect other denominations and churches as well. The most important issues at stake in New Orleans were not same-sex unions and gay bishops but biblical authority and the integrity of the church.

There seems to be little room for hope that this situation in the Episcopal Church can be reversed at this late point. Mark yesterday as another date of disaster in New Orleans.
