“Moving Slowly with Caution Isn’t Stopping”

[American Anglican Council] April 18, 2006--The Episcopal Church was given an opportunity to choose to walk together with the Communion – to choose this day whom it will serve. “One Baptism, One Hope in God’s Call” does not call ECUSA to affirm and conform to the traditional teaching and practice of the Anglican Communion. Instead, it advances revisionism while claiming a desire to remain in the Communion. The "autonomy-in-communion" pleaded for in the Windsor Report is reduced to mean simply "autonomy" in terms of ECUSA’s teaching and practice. Having been asked to stop and reconsider, ECUSA is rebelliously insisting that they go slowly, but remain on the same course. The trajectory of the leadership of the Episcopal Church remains on that very course of revisionism, and it seems nearly impossible that General Convention 2006 will change the course. We will continue to pray for a miracle, because only the truth sets us free.

Turning the Episcopal Church around will indeed require a miracle!
