Hallo again to all.
This week
we're delighted to list dioceses, cathedrals, and parishes from round
the Communion: from Honduras and New Zealand to Barbados, Canada, and
Wales. We have our first parish listings for South Dakota USA. We depend
primarily on you, our readers, to 'The Communion'. Such a phrase. Like many of you, we sometimes wonder what on earth (or under heaven) that concept implies. There are times when the bonds that bind Anglicans together worldwide seem very real, very meaningful; at other times they seem frustratingly elusive or pettifoggingly legalistic. And alas sometimes they seem something to be left behind. The Reverend Ephraim Radner, a priest in the Diocese of Colorado recently wrote a compelling essay directed to what he terms 'conservative clergy' in his diocese (with whom he is in sympathy). He posits that staying in a church one disagrees with seriously is a great act of faith. The Reverend Tony Clavier, a priest in the Diocese of Arkansas, returned recently to the Anglican Communion after many years in the Continuing Church. He writes about whether ECUSA is indeed 'The General Convention Church' and whether that matters. Both essays are well worth your time. Every week the flow of articles, speeches, essays, and diatribes about the health of the Anglican Communion continues. There are so manyand what they have to say is so rarely newthat we draw your attention only to those we consider extraordinary. But we also draw your attention to the verse of a hymn sung in our parish this morning:
See you next week. We'll be here. We're not ever leaving.
