A Church divided .


A church divided or schism , not a pleasant occurrence to contemplate but one that will take place on Tuesday at All Souls church , Langham Place , London . Bishops and clergy , faithful to the true teachings of the Anglican faith , will meet and form a Global Anglican Fellowship within the Anglican Communion .
The sad state of affairs arises because Nu-Labours Arch-bishop of Canterbury , Dr. Rowan Williams , failed to properly address the appointment of an openly gay Bishop in the American Episcopal Church , this failure cause distress to the traditional wing of the Church .
So now the new Fellowship will have it's own bishops , ministers and parishes outside of the jurisdiction of the dio
cesan Bishops ; I was overjoyed when I learned that the Fellowship was to use the Book of Common Prayer as the basis of worship , a return to the time of Cranmer is most welcome by The Doc .
I wish the deliberators well on Tuesday and hope that the Holy Spirit will guide their actions and I ask God's Blessing be upon them . Amen .
