It Appears the Anglican Communion is DOA
VirtueOnline - ALEXANDRIA 2009: Orthodox Anglican Primates Offer Clarity on Primates Meeting David Virtue offers a stunning summary of his interviews with orthodox Anglican archbishops, the Most Rev. Gregory Venables of the Southern Cone, the Most Rev. Henry Luke Orombi of Uganda and The Most Rev. Gerald Ian Ernest of the Province of the Indian Ocean. It appears that the Communion is irreconcilably divided and has come to a place of openness and clarity on that division. According to these primates, there are not just two dissimilar viewpoints or factions within the Anglican Communion but in two separate religions. Virtue writes, "The Anglican Communion is broken and it is beyond repair. It can never be repaired, was the message these primates gave." Speaking of Venables and Orombi, "Both men said that the daily Bible studies highlighted their differences. Liberal and orthodox primates simply don't read the scriptures in the same way and they don't believe the same things." And speaking of Ernest, "The Most Rev. Gerald Ian Ernest of the Province of the Indian Ocean confirmed that there were now two religions existing side by side in the Anglican Communion that were irreconcilable." Apparently the era in Christian history of having a cohesive Anglican Communion is coming to a close. |
