Sigh.
Something huge happened last week. Gafcon – which is not a very hot sexy or informative acronym for a conference of conservative/orthodox Anglican bishops and other luminaries in Jerusalem. Much was said. And they released a communique that some interpret as dividing the Anglican Communion (although the persons who released the communique insist it does not – it does change the situation greatly).
I do not have the time right now to digest it all and post my own weak opinions. But I had to say something. Later I hope to wrestle more with the conference, the communique, the various interpretations and reactions, what I think are the potential implications.
The one thing I will say is something had to be done. The current situation is intolerable.
A good central starting place for the communique and links to various reports/reactions is Kendall Harmon’s TitusOneNine website.
Not to mention the actual Gafcon website. (Kudos for using Joomla. Boos for the ugly-as-sin banner.) That should burn up your free time for the rest of the summer.
