815 Goes For The Kill

What happens when someone is the lead blogger at the most widely read Conservative Anglican website in the world, and you don’t like it? Do you take the Christian attitude and try to engage in dialogue? Do you wrestle with the theological issues at stake online, publicly engaging in a process of discernment? Do you [...]

Changing Attitude Pass The Buck

So Colin Coward has produced a response to blog posts on this and other sites, challenging him and Changing Attitude on the various allegations made in the two press releases of the past few weeks.

Colin Coward - Please Stop This Before It’s Too Late

Let me get something clear right before I begin this post. I like Colin Coward. I’ve met him on a number of occasions, formally and informally and I genuinely like him. Unlike some of the GLBT lobby in the Anglican Church he is kind and gentle and rarely a harsh word ever comes out from [...]

Changing Attitude’s Smear Campaign

A letter to the leaders of GAFCON has been published by Changing Attitude and picked up by Simon Sarmiento (he of the Society of Archbishop Justus that controls the anglican.org domain) at Thinking Anglicans which attempts to smear GAFCON with homophobic violence. On closer inspection however the letter seems to be the same kind of [...]

San Joaquin - The Real Issue

Father Jake (who claims to be able to stop the world) thinks I’m barking up the wrong tree:

Once the Diocese was re-established at last weekend’s Diocesan Convention, another change occurred. The Society of Archbishop Justus, which operates the domain "anglican.org", redirected "sanjoaquin.anglican.org" from the website of John-David Schofield’s Southern Cone group to the website of [...]

Who Registered Diosanjoaquin.org?

Well actually yes we do. There is a new Diocese of San Joaquin website to rival the proper one. The new one has been setup to give details of the Special Convention that is going to be held to reconstitute the Diocese.
Once I got past the hilarity that is the agenda for [...]
