Draft Anglican Covenant

The Draft Anglican Covenant from the Covenant Design Group is available here in pdf form.

We try to stay on top of things here at the Dance Party.

I invite discussion of the text in the comments.

I wrote some about it in my blog but have to say that I am a dispirited, though not surprised... after all, it's not the first time the institution has kicked us in the gut. I am so, so tired of a bunch of men obsessing over ho-mo-*sex*-u-a-li-ty when it's a guise for their misogyny and fear.

Nonetheless, my congregation isn't going to show me the door and a couple of primates are not going to have the power over me to tell me that I am a lesser child of God. I just grieve for those who don't know that in their hearts.

It's making me plain sad, angry and dispirited! I want to kick someone's shin, and I don't have anyone nearby who is deserving of a kick in the shin. You know?

You have a typo in your title--it's "Daft," not "Draft."

Aghaveagh said...

Uh, oh, I think I will move slowly and quietly away from Eileen before she kicks me in the shin...unless I deserve it.

episcopalifem said...

Nah...I'll kick the desk or somethin'. I can't kick the nice blog-people!

Thanks for pointing out the typo, aghaveagh! And Eileen, any more kicking and you'll be sitting in the car, young lady!!

Leonardo, I really think that if everyone was able to meet in real life, we would find out what we have in common and we would probably like each other. I know that you believe this too because you have said as much. But I wouldn't stand for them saying the nasty stuff they are so happy to post on these blogs.

I met Fr. Ephriam Radner at Epiphany West, and was even at dinner with him one night. Even though we are on opposite poles in these matters, we liked each other and had good conversations.

It's easier to demonize those we don't know. I think that ++Ankinola and his bunch avoided eating with the other Primados because they realized they would have trouble maintaining their self-righteous anger if they had to spend time with everyone and learn that they, too, are good Christians and children of God.

I See You!
