• The Primus’s Radio Interview about the Columba Declaration

    It is incomprehensible to me that the Church of England establishment, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, can have claimed in the English Synod yesterday that the Scottish Episopal Church is “content” with the Columba Declaration and sees it as a positive move forward when the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church is describing it as “improper”, causing distress to the Scottish Episcopal Church, says it is not the way we do things in the Anglican Communion and talks of is as an example of the Church of England trying to exercise jurisdiction in Scotland.

    Here’s his radio interview today – well worth a listen.

    Can anyone explain what the Archbishop of Canterbury meant yesterday? I’m struggling to see the truth shining through his words – can anyone help me?

    Forgive my denseness, or ignorance, Kelvin – but what are the white bits?! Feathers? Rose petals? No, you could never throw them that high. Have you opened a magnum of superbubbly? – Whatever they are / it is, it looks lovely!
