Lest we think that the conflicts revolving around the ordination of practicing homosexual persons is simply a matter of Canada and the U.S. verses the world - Thinking Anglicans and Inclusive Church, both based in Great Brittion as far as I know, have furthered the conversation in there own way.
Thinking Anglicans can be found here! and Inclusive Church here!
In particular, Inclusive Church has compiled two statments in response to the letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury last August, entitled Communion, Covenant and our Anglican Future. The Arcbhishop's letter was largely a response to the actions of The Episcopal Church's recent General Convention. (You'll find links in my earlier posts). These responses express grave concern about the content and implications of the Archbishop's statements. They were written after consultation and are intended to reflect a variety of responses to the Archbishop’s paper.
The short version is here and The full document is here - both in pdf.
Clearly this is not the simple matter of one or two churches of the Anglican Communion moving forward with our due consult with the other churches. Its also about churches, exemplify by the Church of England, ignoring the concerns of their own membership.
Any thoughts?
