Provost supports Bishop

I know, such a dull headline isn’t it.

However, sometimes we need to express our support and appreciation for the things our bishops do and the things our bishops say.

For example, just before he went off to Lambeth, +Idris (our bishop and primus) said this:

“The vision of our communion is that ‘The truth shall make you free’. Your bishops do not intend to return to you bound in any chains. Or bringing back any chains for you to get wrapped up in either.”

I can’t think of any way of interpreting that other than to assume that +Idris was talking about a proposed covenant and moratorium on consecrations.

I was glad to hear him say that. The Lambeth Conference will be drawing to a close over this weekend. Like Episcopalians up and down Scotland, I’m still praying for our bishops at Lambeth every day.

Provost supports Bishop, see.

Dull headline?
