[EV News] 28 Jul 2008--Proposals have emerged from the Windsor process this afternoon for the creation of another pointless committee which will achieve nothing. Over the last 5 years we have seen again and again decisions taken to create committees which have produced no resolution to the issues tearing apart the Anglican Communion. There is no will from the Archbishop of Canterbury or from many other key players to take appropriate action against error and every tactic therefore seems to have been aimed at delay and compromise.
Decisive action should have been taken years ago to declare the US Episcopal Church and Canadian Anglican Church as out of the communion but despite meetings where this appeared to have been agreed nothing ever happened because revisionists like Rowan Williams are at heart supportive of error.
The nature of the Anglican Communion means that it is individual provinces who must take action to declare themselves out of communion when one or other provincial churches depart from the apostolic faith. Of course they can and should consult together on the issues. However, we should be wary of creating institutions (as proposed by Windsor) because they are just as capable of espousing error as upholding truth (See Article 21).
A summary is available from Stand Firm.
Not only that, and not only will this committee not even make any "official" recommendations until next May, at the earliest, this is also nothing but a re-hash of the utterly ineffectual "Pastoral Committee" already proposed -- and already rejected by PEcUSA -- by the primates' council at Dar Es Salaam.
ReplyDeleteIt's going nowhere. And, even if it did, it's simply be ignored by PEcUSA, as was the Windsor Report itself.
