An Unfortunate Draft: Making Heterodoxy Safe For Future Generations

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/10012/

[Stand Firm] 12 Feb 2008--My prediction: If the Covenant is approved in anything like its current form, it will, only years after its adoption, be used as a means of sanctioning localized heresy and punishing external interventions. If there is one activity that will, in no uncertain terms, quickly be identified by both the Archbishop of Canterbury and the ACC as “Communion dividing” it will be extra-jurisdictional interventions. Within thirty years, same sex blessings, non-celibate gay bishops, goddess liturgies, polyandry, pelagianism, marcionism, universalism, and pluralism will be officially recognized as “non-communion dividing” by either the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Anglican Consultative Council while those provinces daring to establish missionary jurisdictions will have been expelled from the Covenant body.
