Nice one Jonah, all good grist for the LSP mill, not that I have a problem with the procession of the Spirit from the Father and the Son, you understand, but what about ACNA?
The last I heard more than a few had a perverse regard for Calvinist anti-sacramentalism - but at least they're not dismal devotees of the Sharia peddler that occupies the throne of Augustine, or fans of the Boy Bishop in New York either; maybe that will save them in the end.
I hope so, much as I dislike the 'heresies of the reformation' and the various detestable enormities of Sola Scriptura, infantile hymns and slavish devotion to Puritan 'divinity'. Despite all that, and far more, I'd like to see ACNA succeed because I think they really do want to believe the Faith, which is no bad thing. Only time will tell if they find it.
More of that anon. Looking forward to another episode of 'Horse & Stable' tomorrow a.m.
Cheers,
LSP

What is a Boy Bishop, and why is she scary?
:)
Good question.
"Boy Bishops" were medieval children who dressed up as Bishops for a day. Some think that Schori looks a little like that (time prevented finding a more suitable picture).
She's scary to trads, of various stripes, because she's in a position of power and's against them - litigiously.
Saying that, some find her reassuring. Hamas, for example, doubtless welcomes her support, along with those who think abortion's a "sacrament".
So I suppose she's a little controversial...

Ah. Thank you for the explanation.
:)
Of course I'm a hopeless traditionalist, so...
