Episcopalian High Stakes Meeting

September 17, 2007 by zanshindo

Christianity Today reports on the Angican/Episcoplalian, “breaking point” meeting next week (Episcopalians Head to High-Stakes Meeting) in which the future of the Anglican communion seems to be at stake.  Obliquely relate;  Fr. Richard John Neuhaus at First Things (Oct. 2007, “While We’re At It”):

     I do not plan a comment on the Episcopal priest in Seattle who says she is also a Muslim.   In part because commenting on Episcopalian foibles and follies is like shooting fish in a barrel.  It seems unfair.  What else is to be said about a church in  which John Spong, who is celebrated for denying almost every article in the creed, is a bishop in good standing?

Alas.  The Catholic Church has it’s Spongs.
