Just as the issue of the digest was about to go out, VirtueOnline learned, late last night that the Anglican Communion is in all likelihood over regardless of what resolutions are passed by the House of Bishops on Monday. It is finished.

"Spong is a paradox. He is universally acknowledged as a featherweight intellect who is at the same time a heavyweight performer." ---Canon Gary L'Hommedieu

"The consecration of Reverend V. Gene Robinson as the Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire will long be remembered in the history of the church as a craven act of moral rebellion and the rejection of Holy Scripture. November 2, 2003 is a day that will live in biblical infamy." - Albert Mohler, Southern Baptist leader

It was another week of contradictions and ecclesiastical mayhem in the life of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. Topping the news was the consecration of two former Episcopal priests as bishops in the Anglican Church of Kenya to meet the needs of Anglicans in North America. On August 30, the Anglican Communion Network welcomed the consecrations of the Rt. Rev. Bill Atwood and the Rt. Rev. Bill Murdoch by the Anglican Church of Kenya.
