THE NEW ALIGNMENT IS CLEARLY UNDERWAY

This week it was announced that two Primates, Drexel Gomez (Nassau) and Greg Venables (Southern Cone), have invited the Presiding Bishop and leadership of the US-based Reformed Episcopal Church to a gabfest in Nassau. This is important because ECUSA has been trying to rope in the REC with talks of unity—but the REC is now in impaired communion with ECUSA over the Robinson consecration.

In the announcement, Archbishop Gomez said he had been impressed and delighted by the new “Federation for Anglican Ministry in America” that emerged from the December 2003 meetings of Anglicans United in Orlando, Florida. This document drew from the “Federation” concept worked out by the REC/APA Unity Committee earlier that year.
