I saw this painting recently in London. It purports to be St Monica being handed her newly born son who was to become Augustine of Hippo.

“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.

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.

Tomorrow is a glorious feast – it is Ascension Day. It is one of my favourites and celebrates one of those stories from the Bible (like the talking snake with legs in Genesis) that you instinctively know is true.
