I don't know, S. All this talk coming from the representative of the Archbishop of a church which recognizes same sex relationships in its lower clergy seems an exercise in sophistry to me. But then again, I'm not an overly sensitive or sophisticated type.
LOL!
K, "all this talk" is IMHO a result of the centuries of trying to maintain the "Elizabethan Compromise" -- the attempt to create a unity out of two disparate systems. It is both our best feature (for working to maintain unity) and our worst (for obfuscation via verbiage).
I quite expect that when the current crisis comes to its conclusions that we will see three groups going forward: (to pick two inaccurate but perhaps generally descriptive labels) the Evangelicals, the Anglo-Catholics, and those we will not name.
The AoC is not on the side of the angels here, likely according to any of the factions. To give him the benefit of the doubt (without quoting a comment from my bishop) efforts aimed at holding the entirety of today's "Anglicanism" together, revisionists plus reasserter(s), are inevitably going to look questionable.
However, +Exeter is lighting up the Anglican blogs I read.
