+Bruce MacPherson Now Public Enemy #1 in Jim Naughton’s Eyes, Replacing Bob Duncan

[Drell's Descant] 3 May 2007--What Jim fails to mention is that +Bruce is President of the Presiding Bishop’s council of advice, and said his remarks with +Jefferts Shori sitting right there next to him, with +Epting between them. Additionally, this is not new news. The statement has been out there for almost two months. What did +Bruce say about the PB? He said this:

“Along with a growing number, we are troubled deeply by the continued intransigence of not only General Convention, but also the presiding bishop with respect to the requests of the Windsor Report, and statements that are contradictory to the basic tenets of our Christian faith. The latter being repeated often when speaking publicly about The Episcopal Church as it relates to Christology, and her personal positions.

These things are counter to what we have held down through the life of the communion and teachings of the Church. “Scripture has been a means by which God directs the Church in its mission, energises it for that task, and shapes and unites it so that it may be both equipped for this work and itself a part of the message.” [WR55.p28]”
