“Clarified All...Questions”?

http://www.challengeonline.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=151

[The Christian Challenge] 2 Nov 2007--"No one's vision won" in the Episcopal House of Bishops’ recent final response to Anglican primates (provincial leaders) on the homosexual issue, asserted gay New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson.

Which is another way of saying that unambiguous orthodoxy lost.

Almost immediately, a battle of wills began brewing between conservative Anglican leaders determined to redress that unhappy situation, and Anglican “friends in high places” who maintain that it largely ceased to exist with the Episcopal bishops’ September 25 reply to the primates.

But the campaign to “sell” the American response as adequate was encountering some stiff international resistance and had, by deadline, been ostentatiously undercut by no less than Bishop Robinson himself.

The result? “There will be [an] Anglican Communion and [an] Episcopal Church after this is sorted out,” opined one religion weblog, “but who belongs to which is the $64,000 question.”
