[American Anglican Council] March 18, 2005--Friends, this is not leadership of any kind. Leadership points the way forward. Leadership upholds biblical doctrine. Leadership rallies support for a preferred future. This is American power politics. This holds the church (and some dioceses) hostage until we all agree on a sexual ideology that is not welcomed in the Anglican Communion. This defiance is couched in the language of justice and solidarity with the gay population, but it is a simple strategy to use their once honorable office to break the church’s will at the next General Convention. It is an abrogation of leadership. It would have been far better and far more honest for the bishops to declare the Episcopal Church out of communion with the Anglican Communion and then set about picking up the pieces.
