ANglicans need a Magisterium. The problem, as the good Rev says, is we don't trust each other enough to put someone or any particular group in the Magisterial chair.

And that's just the authentic, charitable part. What about clerics into the power equation? How many 'dioceses' exist because a bishop just wanted to go his own way, regardless of doctrine or liturgy? It is a great and glad thing to consider, the possibility of reunion, but I think that a good number of orthodox and/or conservative Anglicans and Anglo-Catholics have very burned fingers for what in retrospect does not necessarily appear to be sufficiently substantive doctrinal reason.

Maybe we just need to harp on the Sacrament of Reconciliation: confessing our sins against each other would at least be a start on candid relations, if not cordial ones.

In Christ,
Deacon Paul+
