Goosestepping Through The Canons With TEC

[Stand Firm] 11 Mar 2008--Is it just me or is the Episcopal Church coordinating their timing so that the most offensive and potentially lethal bombshells have an opportunity to “fly under the radar?”

Well, if you missed this one, you need to set aside some time and study these “proposed changes” to the Canons. You'll find there’s a little something there for everybody: a power grab for the PB, a mechanism for declaring difficult priests and bishops too dotty or disabled to remain in office, a renewed move to go after laity (yep, you read it correct). Orthodox priests could find themselves unemployed after psychologist’s examination and faced with their medical records being opened for examination by their church! Laity could be removed from office for publicly stating their intent to disobey the policy of the church. Then there's the part I've nicknamed ECUSA JUSTICE where the proposed changes would attempt to deny access to the secular courts. For the sceptics among us:

Proposed Canon IV.19.2 reads as follows:

"No member of this Church, whether lay or ordained, may seek to have the Constitution and Canons of this Church interpreted by a secular court, or resort to a secular court to address a dispute arising under the Constitution and Canons, or for any purpose of delay, hindrance, review or otherwise affecting any proceeding under this Title."
