“TEC a de facto Integrity organization” - Bishop of the Rio Grande

http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/

[Anglican Mainstream] 24 Mar 2007--Given the commitment of GC’s ‘03 & ‘06 to the full inclusion of LBGT at every level of the life of TEC and given the affirmation of this as the position of TEC by the just included HoB and given the many voices on this news-list saying that this is the work of the Holy Spirit and is a prophetic call to not only the Anglican Communion, but the entire Body of Christ.

I believe this has made TEC a defacto Integrity organization and those that realize this and cannot live with this reality are the people seeking some way to remain worshiping in their parish church and in communion with the Anglican Communion for whom Lambeth 1.10 compliance is minimal in going forward.

We want a place where people, parishes and dioceses as a bare minimum do not have to be Integrity compliant in order to have a full place at the table at every level. We want true “Full Inclusion.” I cannot see how it can happen both ways with our present GC and HoB leadership.

I do not hear or read anyone from Integrity or the Episcopal Majority acknowledging this problem for real full inclusion and arguing for a safe space for remaining conservatives.
