“We strongly urge every congregation in this Church to engage in discussion of the proposed Covenant at some time in the coming two years,” the letter states.
Read it all.

Day late and a dollar short. The covenant is an absolute farce. As is the AC. Make your own way and follow Jesus, but don’t expect any support from TEC or the AC. September 4, 3:39 pm | [comment link] |

Given that the GS doesn’t like the Covenant in its current form, it’s hard to see why either reappraisers or reasserters in TEC would have much interest in signing on to the existing draft. ———————————————————————- |

Why would the Episcopal Church pay any attention to the Covenant, when it does not take a blind bit of notice of the rest of the Communion, the ABC, Primates, ACC, their own Canons, or the Word of God for that matter? And when they claim to be listening to the Holy Spirit, you know they are up to much mischief. Some days I sit and think. Other days I just sit!! September 4, 7:41 pm | [comment link] |

Okay, so they ask people to study the Covenant and comment about it. So, what then? Unless they’ve decided to change direction, they won’t vote to adopt it unless it meets with all of their specifications.
