GC2006 : COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church did not deliver"
COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church did not deliver"
June 23, 2006
Dear Friends,
We have just returned from the 75th Convention of the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA). The American Anglican Council (AAC) went to Columbus to work for clarity, and I believe we witnessed ECUSA make their choice.
The worldwide Communion asked for simple, unambiguous compliance with the Windsor Report, specifically an expression of regret for decisions made in 2003 and subsequent actions, as well as moratoria on consecrations of non-celibate homosexuals and same-sex blessings.
The Episcopal Church did not deliver. Instead, both the House of Bishops and House of Deputies bowed to intense pressure from the Presiding Bishop to pass B033, a resolution characterized by ill-defined language with no provision for enforcement or accountability. The legislation "called upon" standing committees and diocesan bishops to "exercise restraint" by not consenting to the election of individuals whose "manner of life presents a challenge to the wider church." Why was this legislation not cast in Windsor language?
It was clear that neither house would have approved Windsor compliance wording. Biblically faithful bishops denounced B033, accurately assessing the resolution as "misleading the rest of the Communion by giving a false perception that they intend actually to comply with the recommendations of the Windsor Report."
According to Associated Press reports, John Chane, Bishop of Washington, immediately declared that the resolution was "non-binding" and that "he would not follow it." This is no surprise. If past performance is the best indicator of future behavior, we can expect the Episcopal Church to continue its revisionist trajectory with no regard for the Anglican Communion.
In addition to the unsurprising fudge on consecrations of bishops, the Episcopal Church simply refused to address the matter of same-sex blessings. Dodging the issue with a claim that ECUSA has not authorized official rites, General Convention ignored the fact that same-sex blessings are occurring on a regular basis all around the country, performed in churches by Episcopal clergy and bishops. In addition, numerous dioceses have developed, or are in the process of developing, rites of same-sex blessings.
The election of Katharine Jefferts Schori as presiding bishop - arguably the least experienced as priest or bishop, and possibly the most liberal - is an affront to the Anglican Communion. Before the election, her record was clear.
At the 2003 General Convention, she voted against a resolution affirming basic tenets of Christian faith and the authority of Scripture, and supported V. Gene Robinson's confirmation as well as blessings of same-sex unions. In the days following her election as presiding bishop, her personal theology has been exposed even more clearly.
In her first sermon as presiding bishop-elect, she referred to "our Mother Jesus." In interviews, she expressed her version of the Gospel: "Now the Bible tells us about how to treat other human beings and that's certainly the great message of Jesus. To include the un-included."
She has also stated that homosexuality is not a sin. When the global primates were gathered in October of 2003 in Lambeth Palace to deal with the chaos resulting from Gene Robinson's confirmation as bishop, she was in her Nevada Diocesan Convention pushing a same-sex blessing resolution for her diocese. This does not argue well for her having a sensitivity to the larger Communion, or even caring.
When asked about life after death, Jefferts Schori responded: "But what's important about your life? What is it that has made you a unique individual? What is the passion that has kept you getting up every morning and engaging the world?
There are hints within that, about what it is that continues after you die." Such statements indicate clearly that Jefferts Schori is committed to a belief system which is fundamentally contrary to Scripture, Christian teaching and Anglican doctrine.
There is no other way to interpret her words. What will be the Communion's response? The Archbishop of Canterbury issued a brief statement, noting that the Communion will have to carefully review the decisions of General Convention 2006.
Primates of the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA) also issued an open letter saying, "...reports to date of your elections and actions suggest that you are unable to embrace the essential recommendations of the Windsor Report and the 2005 Primates Communiqué necessary for the healing of our divisions." Global South primates will meet in September and will offer their "concerted pastoral and structural response."
CAPA primates also sent a strong message to the orthodox in America: "We assure all those Scripturally faithful dioceses and congregations alienated and marginalised within your Provincial structure that we have heard their cries."
Brothers and Sisters, despite their best efforts to feign Windsor compliance, ECUSA has made its choice, and now we must unite and act to ensure a biblically faithful expression of Anglicanism in America.
Whether you are in ECUSA, are in the process of disaffiliating, or are under oversight of another Anglican province, we are committed to assisting you to go from strength to strength. The war is over; it is time to build the church. In Christ,
---The Rev. Canon David C. Anderson is CEO and President of the American Anglican Council

 Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church'The war is over; it is time to build the church.'
Nice summation of the Convention, but this last line makes no sense. The war is over??? If Fr. Anderson means the war of having ECUSA's position come into clear focus for all to see than ok...but still poor terminoloy. The war is far from over, and the greatest battles will be in the months to come. The major difference is that there is now a V-day in sight, but before we get there the enemy and his minions in TEC will throw everything they have at us. And Fr. Anderson surely knows from the history of the Church that there is war...spritual and physical...wherever the building of the Catholic Church takes place. The loser evil one can't stand faithful Christians and missionaries.  |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Canon Anderson, I'm going to tell you as a member of the AAC and as a layman, and straight from the shoulder: Stop trying to reform The Episcopal Church! It is not going to reform....now or ever! They've made that very clear, as you know very well.
I am well aware of our Statement of Purpose and what it says, but I must tell you this: The American Anglican Council needs to change course and work for the establishment of a new orthodox Anglican province....not merely a "presence" in this country! If we do not change course, we face increasing pessimism regarding the very survival of Anglican Christianity in North America. That pessimism is growing daily, as I am sure you know. If the AAC does not focus on creating a new province in cooperation with the Network and its partners....with or without Canterbury....we might just as well fold our tents and go home! Cennydd |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church This is positively brilliant. The gays have won!
Election of Schori guarantees an anti-feminist umbrella for the brunch-time liberals. If the southern cone rejects on the grounds of a female PB - well.. they're just a bunch of backwoods blekfellas. Passage of BOZO (B033) assures Rowan an out. Orthodox Episcopalians will be gladly escorted out of the party. ECUSA will show no shame and they will continue to be used for the U.S.A. national Gay political agenda. I warned you about this and offered my help, but not one person of authority ever contacted me. You orthodox bishops still hanging on to ECUSA deserve everything Louie Crew does to you from now on! p |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Hmmm...how about the GAYpiscoBAAL Church? Does it capture the spirit of the Lord of Flies (Belzeebub) brooding over his corps (er, corpses) of living-dead episcozombies? Somehow the most bizarre hybrids from the furthest reaches of the imagination do not seem too far fetched for capturing the Zeitgeist of the once great Ecclesia Anglicana--in the US, Canada, and GB, that is. Woe to those for whom it is better to 'rule in Hell than serve in Heaven'! Whitened sepulchres...

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church If you want to talk about not delivering, what has the AAC done lately? When Canon Anderson has delivered one person away from ECUSA, then he might have some credentials to talk about non-delivery.

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church I believe that Rev. Anderson was pretty clear when he stated the war is over. I take that to mean he is thru with the TEC. I think that in the course of the next several months to year you will see a difining break between the TEC and the Anglican church in the US, at least that is what I hope. It might take some time, but I beleieve the divorse is in progress. As one who left the church after the last convention, I hope to be able to find a home in the new Anglican church when I move to north Florida in the next year. In the mean time my family and I attend a non denominational church that has strong biblicval teaching and values. While I do miss the service and traditions of the ECUSA, I could no longer stand what was happening to the church. I realized that my beliefs as a conservative person that takes the bible at face value i.e. that is to say literally, that I was in the minority in my church. I have been back to that church several times and saw it's membership drop by at least 60% over the last 3 years. When I hear figures that say the ECUSA is declining at slower rates I just don't buy it. I do not think the church was an abnominly, but is not far off . It would be interesting to see what the real population decline has been in the last 3 plus years. I think it is higher then what they project. My advise to anyone who is one the fence, GET OFF. Find a church the is Anglican if you can, if not, find one that takes God's word seriously. Don't keep pumping money into the TEC, and vote with your feet . PAX Christo

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Well done Christo for having the courage to go with your convictions. I trust that before long you and your family will be able to find a faithful Anglican church to attend, but until that occurs you have sought fellowship in a faithful church and that is the main thing.
Thanks for your encouragement to all of us. |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church I agree very much Rossi.
But then, we should also remember that the "Global south" are in fact the majority of Anglicans in the world. It is easy to forget that, in our insular western societies. When you add up all the faithful in both "western" and "south" parts of the Anglican Communion, they are in a substantial majority. I agree very much with your point about the ABC "pretending". That is something he is extremely good at. I have to respect his political ability, although not the manner in which he uses it. But he is also up against other leaders of ability, and more to the point, leaders of *power*, in the sense that St Paul used the word. I think ABC knows that B033 is not a serious response to the Windsor report (like many orthodox Anglicans, I regarded the Windsor report as far too weak, but that does not matter now). I suspect if ABC had been in charge of ECUSA he would have given a very strong and positive response to the Windsor report, in order to lull the orthodox into a false sense of security, while he continued like Balaam to white-ant the church from within. In his attempts to influence GC in this direction, he even took the historically extraordinary step of sending an envoy to GC, and making that envoy the second-most powerful prelate in England! He is truly a dangerous man, but the Lord confounded his plans and hardened the hearts of the liberals, just as he did with Pharoah, so as to bring about their earthly destruction. |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church England, dear friends, is hot on the heels of our current apostacy, as is much of Europe. The spiritual stronghold engripping us all, is common to (North)Western civilization. We should be hearing more of this from our UK family.
One gay UK priest, Jeffries is his name, stepped away from the episcopate (of York, I believe) at the strong urging of the ABC, some two years ago. Other gay candidates are being groomed for future placement. They, too, are busy advancing their cause in the church. ++Rowan cannot/will not help us. Still, at the moment anyway, all Global Primates look to him for direction, if not leadership or authority. Until that changes, we must forge godly alliances for ourselves NOW! The rest of the world will support or condemn us bsased on our movements and plans, not as whiners-in-the-stands. I have NO PLANS to sit around with interested pundits in my diocese, to put together ideas for an 'Anglican Covenant', based on the recomendations of the Windsor Report. It will be a noxious exercise that will seek, at this point, to include EVERYBODY! The wrangling will be endless! No more evangelism anymore, folks; not as long as we are perminately too full of ourselves! This ALONE, is reason enough to FLEE! Let us move forward boldly, in concert, and in the begging of God's succour! |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church "The war is over."
This reminds me of the ending of the movie "The Kingdom of Heaven" Let Bishop Katherine and her minions have every church building, every bank account and all the glory of victory that ECUSA is entitled to. The Kindom of Heaven is not in those Church walls, nor in the treasury nor in the vestments the clergy wear. The Kingdom of Heaven is in our hearts and minds...in our souls. It's God's will...Let them do with their buildings and money as they will. Leave ECUSA with grace, dignity and with your souls...and with the Kingdom of Heaven. "The war is over." Being Christian is much more inmportant than being Episcopalian or Anglican. Let Bishop Katherine revel in the stain of sin that she and her bishops and deputies have embraced. Wash the stain of her church from you... "The war is over." |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Quote:
Let them have the earthly things. how about some terain denial here. If in a military position, it is better for nobody to benefit from lost assets, than to let your enemy benefit from your assets... If the fight is probably winable, then it makes some sense to look at the legal fight. But if the fight does not look winable where you are; suggest that if you are in a position wherein, the liberal diocese is likely to win, minimize what they get. the people build up a war chest, outside of ecusa, to be able to start their new church. the cash stream to the ecusa church nose dives, due to the people leaving the church, and due to the people attending for the moment, while they build up their war chest for starting a new church outside of ecusa, their financial war chest to be outside the grasp of the ecusa revisionists.. As for the cash assets within ecusa, use them up, pay the bills, pay the employees, buy food for the poor and give it to them, pay down the bills and loans, whatever is legal, consider it. Think terain denial, within the legal limits of course... when you walk out the door, turn off the lights, and lock it. and leave the ecusa checkbook, with 2 Cents in the bank account. those cents make more sense that the ecusa revisions scents at genetial-con 2006 hints... |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Damascus I am afraid that you know very little of what the AAC has been doing. If you were at GenCon06 you would know better. If you were in one of the dozens of parishes that have worked with the AAC on exiting you wouldn't have written this. Much of the AAC's work is necessarily below the radar for the sake of clergy and parishes who need to prepare and act before the revisionist bishop is aware.
The AAC is neither in nor out of TEC, it is an advocacy organization that does communication, education, diplomacy and special operations. The AAC is continuing to work in three areas as it has: assisting those still in ECUSA with defense and preparation, assisting those leaving ECUSA with legal and strategic planning, and assisting those out of ECUSA with international relations and Common Cause Partner issues. |

Amen, aatych! And yes, it will depend upon leaders of stature for an alternative organisation to truly come into being and last. But if that happens then yes, all efforts should be made to woo away those who remain in ECUSA churches. |

Re: COLUMBUS, OH: AAC President, "The Episcopal Church Folks….these two stories are breaking over in England now. I thought everyone needs to read this. If you think APO is going anywhere, guess again. However, there are some prophetic statements about where the CofE is heading. These are both from the London Telegraph dateline today July 2, 2006. The first story was by Jonathan Wynee-Jones. Entitled “Liberals May Split From Cantebury over Homosexuals.” Here’s a clip…..
“Liberal clergy in Britain are preparing to turn to America’s Anglican bishops for leadership in a move that could produce “civil war” and destroy the Church of England. The Sunday Telegraph has learned.” “They are considering the drastic action after the Archbishop of Cantebury, Rowan Williams. Delivered a strong warning to liberals that they could be marginalized from the Anglican Church……” “Among the ideas discussed were the twinning of English and American parishes, and inviting more clergy from the U.S. to come to England on placements.” “There is also the radical possibility of an American bishop “overseeing” a liberal parish in this country, whose members feel marginalized by the imposition of traditional beliefs.” Now if any of you think this will stiffen the resolve of Rowan….guess again. Here is another article in the same paper datelined today July 2 as well. This article was posted by Mary Wakefield….here’s a clip….. “The sun was already high over Church Hill in Hertfordshire at 10:30 on Thursday morning as I followed Christina Rees through the garden, up to her front door.” “Christina is American by birth, but a member of our General Synod and chairwoman of Women and the Church (WATCH), which struggles to free the Church of England from patriarchal prejudice.” “And within the hour…she’d explained the Anglican Communion to me, unraveled all its competeing theologies and made it appear suddenly quite clear that despite his recent nod in the direction of the conservatives, the Archbishop of Cantebury will eventually go with the liberal flow….” Christina said “”You want to know what the headlines will be on July 10?” Yes, please. “They’ll all say the same thing: CofE votes for woman bishops!” So after women bishops in the CofE, you think openly gay clergy is next? “Let’s get real,” said Christina. “Look how many of them there are already. It’s just not official yet.” So is Rowan Williams thinking along these lines too? Christina just smiled. And maybe she’s right. It is true that in my part of London, a nice lady priest and her girlfriend run their parish side by side, and in the next door church, a gay priest and his partner do the same. If their spiritual leader thought they were making the Creator cross, surely he’d have put his foot down by now. And here the reporter is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. ROWAN WILLIAMS WILL NOT SEE THE BREAKUP OF THE COMMUNION FOR ANYTHING. HE WILL DELAY APO IF NOT OUTRIGHT REFUSE IT. EVEN IF HE DOES HE WILL NOT CLAMP DOWN ON THE HERETICS IN ENGLAND OR THE US. IT IS BEYOND HIGH TIME FOR YOU ALL TO REALIZE THAT THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS NOT IN OUR FUTURE. THE COMMUNION IS BEING BROKEN BY GOD HIMSELF AND IT’S NEW HEADQUARTERS WILL BE EVENTUALLY IN ALEXANDRIA EGYPT UNDER THE AFRICANS. DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR AND BREAK FROM YOUR OLD ESTABLISHED MINDSET…..ONCE AGAIN THE COMMUNION AS WE KNOW IT IS DEAD….DEAD…..DEAD AND SO IS THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. |

Poster: AlMarsh Posted: 2006/7/2 9:39:04 Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers. General Synod will decide, not the Sunday Telegraph or the somewhat confused Ms Rees. And it will be influenced by how the Anglican Communion shapes up: which is about to become a much more conservative shape. Which i agree one must understand the source and that one can be lead into helping spread false info... FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real |
