Dynamite On The Panel Of Reference
Stand Firm have a must read piece on how the Panel of Reference has essentially been stymied by its chair and senior people at the Anglican Communion Office.
As the report on New Westminster was being finalised a team from the Panel went out to meet disputants in the TEC Diocese of North Florida. [...]

Tom Wright On Sors
We like Tom Wright. Forget those uber-Evangelicals who think his works on Jesus and Paul are a betrayal of Orthodoxy; Tom is the man who has consistently, in his role on various Anglican bodies, including the Windsor Report Committee, defended creedal Christianity time and time again. So for that reason I think it’s brilliant that [...]

Horses And Carriages
Elaine Storkey this morning on Thought for the Day had lots of good stuff to say on relationships. Relationships are about perseverance and hope, that things will be better. When people fail you, when they sin, you persevere and hope that redemption will come. Marriages aren’t therefore built on gushy feelings, to be dissolved when [...]

Adoption Discrimination Is Fine - As Long As It’s Against Christians
A brilliant piece in today’s Telegraph:
However, it wasn’t just our reaction to the “faeces question” that went down badly with the social workers. We got the distinct impression that they had a real problem with our Christian faith, although our home is not overtly religious and neither are we. Would we want a child placed [...]

Think We’re Bluffing?
Benedict Brogan think things are coming to a head. Who will blink first is the question:
The latest from inside the Government machine tonight is that Ruth Kelly is pretty much on her own in the row over adoption rights. John Hutton is the only Cabinet minister who has stood up to Alan Johnson and said [...]

“get Your Story Right Rowan”
John Richardson has raised an interesting point this afternoon. If the leadership of the Church of England is right in backing the Roman Catholic Church in defending the right of it’s adoption agencies to not help people engaged in same-sex behaviour to adopt children, then why does the Church of England Children’s Society allow that [...]

Sentamu And The Telegraph On Sors
Firstly, a good interview with Archbishop Sentamu on SORS on today’s Today programme (Radio 4). Secondly this morning’s Telegraph has an excellent leader:
The Sexual Orientation Regulations are a bad piece of law-making, cobbled together, through EU pressure, under the Equality Act 2006. They throw up many anomalies in an attempt to force providers of all [...]

Sors For The Mainland - The Archbishops Step In
A very useful letter this evening, signed by both Canterbury and York, which gives the Government a gentle, but clear reminder of what is at stake as the Cabinet debates extending the SORs to the mainland:
On numerous occasions in the past proper consideration has been given to the requirements of consciences alongside other considerations contributing [...]

Where We’re Headed
Some super thinking courtesy of Da Binks:
So-called Progressive Anglicans are sincere about their new religion, and about eradicating a living and orthodox classical Christianity. We must love Christ and our wayward brothers and sisters enough to rebuke & warn; and then to pay them the serious compliment of taking them seriously enough to excommunicate them, [...]

Aiding Burundi
Karen B at Lent and Beyond has highlighted the current need for Aid to Burundi after recent flooding. You can give via Anglican Aid, an aid department of the Anglican Communion Network, the totally excellent orthodox umbrella organisation in TEC. Even if you can just spare 10 dollars or pounds, please do so.
Once you’ve done [...]

Chris is the head honcho of Anglican Mainstream and before that he was a bigwig at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, one of the leading Evangelical and Ang-Cath colleges [...]
