I’m fizzing too! It’s not helped, either, by those of our own members who refer to us as ‘the English Church’.

That is completely outrageous! Maybe the SEC should have talks with the Muslims and then we could declare Fatwas.
Or is this the CoE’s off the wall attempt to solve the women bishops/gay bishops question by moving to nae bishops?

As an English Anglican I’m pretty embarrassed. So much for the “Anglican Communion” we’re supposed to be busy preserving by setting up covenants and writing letters.

Well, maybe this is a good thing for the SEC? At least we are not being lumped in as “Church of England” which is perhaps a step forward. The future for “state” churches in the UK seems to me to be shaky to say the least, so perhaps it’s to the benefit of the SEC to not be part of that! It is rather surprising that there is no mention of the SEC in the “history” part of the paper, other than a cursory reference to the continuing episcopalian element after 1690. Maybe all this means that we should feel completely free to reject the Anglican covenant as totally irrelevant and a hindrance to the mission of the SEC?

I’m heading for the West Port to saddle up! Bring back Clavers and the dragoons!

The CofE CofS meetings have been going on for a very long time as two national churches. The recent report is actually designed to include the SEC – check facts with ICRC or read the report itself!

Hi John, nice to hear from you.
I’ve read the report and was not impressed by it. I suppose I am glad that the SEC is to be included next time, something that I acknowledged above that was to happen.
I’m entirely unimpressed with the C of E appointing one of their bishops as an emissary to the C of S though. Very much border crossing. Very inappropriate.

Fruit for Breakfast
The diet carries on. 10 lbs lost so far. Fruit for breakfast again. Despite all my efforts, it it not possible to eat all the fruit from the trees in the back garden. On of the few nice things about clerical gardens is that they are likely to have well established fruit trees in them.…

Sermon – 19 September 2004
For the last couple of months I have been focusing on the underlying tone of justice in the gospel readings that we have been having week by week. This morning, I want to talk about something different, but related. I want to talk about way each of us is with God. More specifically, I want…

Sectarian
Is there anything more obnoxious than a local supermarket stocking Celtic and Rangers Advent Calendars?

Preaching to the choir
I know that this is preaching to the choir, but don’t you find it strange when people learn how to use e-mail but not the web? I’ve met three people in the last couple of weeks who told me that they used e-mail a lot, but had never learned to use the web. I cannot…
