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?

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!

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.

I was not preaching this week. It was Christian Aid Sunday and the preaching slot was a presentation by the Christian Aid group.I'm not going to post a guest sermon this week, but how about reading the UN Declaration of Human Rights instead.

Other people's magazines
Why do people from other faith groups think it is appropriate to leave their own literature at the back of open Anglican churches? This morning, I threw away four glossy brochures from the Seventh Day Adventist church. Recently it was a vitriolic publication called the Bulwark, an extremist anti-Catholic magazine. Before that it was Jehovah’s…

Politics and Religion
From my experience, politics can bring out the best in people, whilst religion often brings out the worst. one of the reasons that I have kept up my involvement in a political party is that in my experience people are much nicer to one another than in the church generally. I know that is shocking…
