[Church of the Good Shepherd] 19 Sep 2007--I am leaving this week to attend the House of Bishops meeting in New Orleans . This is a very important meeting. The primates (38 top archbishops of the various Anglican provinces around the world) of the Anglican Communion met this year in Dar Es Salaam Tanzania and gave the Episcopal Church until September 30th , two Sundays from now, to repent of her decisions to bless homosexual behavior and to permit the consecration of bishops unrepentantly engaging homosexual sex. This coming House of Bishops meeting that begins Thursday (20th of September) and runs through next week, is the last chance for the Episcopal Church to comply with this request and commit to ending both practices.
The Episcopal Church has already refused to enact the first part of the Primates' proposal which would have provided a way for parishes (like Good Shepherd) and dioceses that wish to remain faithful to the scriptures and 2000 years of Christian teaching to co-exist in a separate structure under our own Primatial Vicar during this time of dispute in the Communion.
Now we will see whether the Episcopal Church will be willing to comply with the second part of the proposal and repent of her unbiblical and destructive actions toward those who are living in sinful sexual relationships.
This is a very serious issue.
