This is just the best way I know of getting in touch with you.<BR/><BR/>josh dot osbun at gmail dot comJosh Osbunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906913610780375868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601056345219122672.post-50362064637728860462009-03-10T00:57:00.000-07:002009-03-10T00:57:00.000-07:00The Catholics have the Pope, and even he now and t...The Catholics have the Pope, and even he now and then has to rein in the excesses of post-Vatican II enthusiasm.<BR/><BR/>Anglicans historically have gone for a weak and decentralized authority, although the TEC has invented the concept of a strong national church in the past decade and used it to wage scorched earth warfare against the traditionalists.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, ECUSA had weak ecclesiastical hierarchy because it was created at a time of rebellion against the strong governmental hierarchy.<BR/><BR/>My guess is that in reaction to today's circumstances, the ACNA will not have a strong enough hierarchy to compel us to stay together. It will be like a marriage in a state with very liberal no-fault divorce laws and lots of temptation for future splits.J.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248876387772558074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601056345219122672.post-32089773522579269082009-03-09T12:52:00.000-07:002009-03-09T12:52:00.000-07:00Once they are done fighting TEC, their differences...<I>Once they are done fighting TEC, their differences may be more obvious than their similarities.</I><BR/><BR/>I've been praying for "you guys" about that very thing since I watched the birthing of the new province on Anglican TV back in Dec.<BR/><BR/>I hope that a way thru the differences can be found; my own good ship Missouri faces some of the same challenges.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.com
