  • New Year Predictions for 2018

    1. General Election in the second half of the year.
    2. “…and as the polls close, our exit poll predicts that the Conservative Party is unlikely to be able to form a new government…”
    3. The next but one leader of the Conservative Party becomes Ruth Davidson MP.
    4. The hipsters get bored of vinyl and discover cameras with actual, you know, film.
    5. No date for a new referendum on Scottish Independence.
    6. No progress for LGBT affirming Anglicans in England.
    7. Progress for LGBT affirming Anglicans elsewhere, particularly Brazil.
    8. Increasing realisation that sexual abuse is part of church culture. #churchtoo #metoo.
    9. FTSE lower at the end of 2018 than it is at the beginning. (7687)
    10. The end of the beard.

    “something that the church overwhelmingly felt was not the way forward”

    …… the way set by the emergency Primates meeting way back when Gene had just been elected was not the way forward and, sad to say, I can’t think of any good that has flowed from it.

    I can only hope that the threats are now over and the listening begins.

    BTW, Father Mark Harris in the US says that the Philippine province has already said no to the covenant.

    Yes – it is reported that the Philippine province has said no, but the reports I saw suggested that it was their bishops who said no rather than a vote in a General Synod.

    My point was that I think that the Scottish Synod is the first actual Synod of a Province to say no. Happy to be proved wrong though.
