    As o­ne “not in good standing” I must congratulate you Kelvin.  Had it not been for your “much wider” approach I would not now be a member of the Episcopalian Church and I would certainly have missed much that has given my life greater value.  Questioning and, reassurance about it, can, in my opinion, only serve to benefit the future of the Episcopalian Church.  May voices and opinions like this continue to be raised.

    As someone who is both Anglican and URC I am saddened by the Episcopal Church throwing out SCIFU. I think that any denomination that does not see the need to build together is destined to be marginalised or ignored. I welcome the stand against restricting Communion.

    Thanks for the points raised, Anonymous. I think that in all the comments in the debate at the synod, people were saying that they did want to go on building together, it is just that the SCIFU proposal was not the way that they could see themselves doing it, particularly since the C of S pulled out last year.

    Synod did pass a resolution indicating that it did want to go on looking for unity with other denominations and was explicit in saying that the priority in this was the Methodists and the URC. (I’m not so sure that this part has been well reported).

When asked why the Church of England could not move forward on affirming marriage as an option for same-sex couples, the Archbishop spoke of standing at a mass grave in…

  • You condemn it, Archbishop

    It is often noted that the Scottish Episcopal Church is very much in favour of the Anglican Communion. What is noted in public slightly less often but which is no less important to remember, is that it is not in favour of the Anglican Communion at any cost. Our dismissal of the Anglican Covenant showed…

  • Blowing up the Red Road Flats – a poor image of the city

    It has been announced that some of the Red Road Flats will be blown up during the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games. I think it is in pretty poor taste. Notwithstanding the fact that people like to watch the spectacle of tower blocks being brought down there is something about making this the focus…

I came up with a quick list and thought that I would share it here too in a slightly expanded form.…
