TWO CHURCH OF ENGLAND DIOCESES VOTE 'YES' TO ANGLICAN COVENANT

The Dioceses of Sheffield and Winchester voted to adopt the Anglican Covenant. The count is now 7 CofE dioceses voting in favor of the covenant and 10 voting against.

My dream is for the Church of England to kill off the covenant, and then the rest of us in the Anglican Communion can forget about the pernicious document and stop talking about it.

  1. If it killed on home turf, it might just die along with the term of the ABC. That would be great!

  2. Ciss, the Church of England as a second-tier member of the Anglican Communion would be the oddity of oddities. Still, I don't give up hope, even though pro-covenant forces are armed for battle with the full resources of the Anglican Communion Office and the Anglican News Service on their side.
