"Covenant is a bitter disappointment"

[VirtueOnline] April 1, 2005--The Covenant Statement acknowledges that the Windsor Report has invited the Episcopal Church to "effect a moratorium on the election and consent to the consecration of any candidate to the episcopate who is living in a same gender union until some new consensus in the Anglican Communion emerges." A pretty clear and straightforward statement of what we must do to maintain the unity of the Church, is it not? So how did the Bishops reply? 'Well, if we can't consecrate any gay bishops living with their partners, then we just won't consecrate any new bishops at all - at least until our next General Convention meets in 2006.' What in heaven's name does that accomplish? It completely dodges the issue and skirts around a very simple request. It is a delaying tactic and puts off a decision until some point in the future. Its only goal is to buy us time. This is not compliance with the request.
