I see your problem: you can’t tell an American from a Briton. That’s a real problem. I know what the Church of Englcand proposes. It is entirely in concert with the Episcopal Church in the US. That would be why all of the continuing churches stemming from the Anglican tradition have gone right the other way. They all dropped their communion with Canterbury precisely BECAUSE the CoE can’t maintain orthodoxy (or any reasonable facsimile thereof). You could look it up.

It is also not at all what I was writing about, as you may as well admit.

So, stop confusing England with the US and start helping faithful Anglicans in the US build parishes. It is really no help when someone so dramatically misstates our position in a forum where many people are reading and may not know.

Then they are not Anglican. I’m sorry. If they aren’t in communion with Canterbury, then they are something else entirely.

“So, stop confusing England with the US and start helping faithful Anglicans in the US build parishes.”

Why is that my job. Have I misrepresented what Canterbury teaches? No.

You are arguing that not everyone who calls themselves ‘Anglican’ are affiliated with Canterbury. That’s not exactly a controversial statement. I would argue everyone who is a faithful Anglican is affiliated with Canturbury and with ECUSA, which is the official body in America.

I don’t have time to qualify my statement to take into account what all the other groups may or may not believe. That’s your job to point out that those groups that are not affiliated with Canturbury adhere to these teachings.

More along the point, what does your churches teach about contraception?
