Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-7 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar and newheart.

"So what is really happening in our church today? Much of the Anglican blogosphere focuses on meetings, big events, and statements."

"There is discussion, there is patience, sadness, impatience, hopelessness, happiness, memories, good-byes, excitement, and even boredom. So too with the realignment of Anglicanism in North America."


HOW TO CLEAN UP A MESS --

1) Rent a very large dumpster, throw way the offending material (everything produced since 1960).

2) Retain only what is significant to historic Anglicanism (1662 Prayerbook, 39 articles, Books of Homilies, etc.).

3) FORBID MEETINGS!! We do not need more meetings and committees, there is too much talk. This part of what got the church into this mess.

4) Stop using acronyms for new Anglican groups (better yet no new Anglican groups with acronyms and slogans).

5) Create a single new Anglican Church in America based on the above points, but modeled after the Orthodox system of minimal central governance. You can't change a church if there is no place, group or leader to lobby.

Lets be a church rather than an organization!
