Padre Xico Speaks

From Luiz at Wandering Christian:

FYI

The Secretary-General of the Province of Brazil has written about the
Anglican Covenant. That's an interesting piece. Too bad I don't have
many people's addresses to send it to.

Here's the link at KANTINHO DO REV.

We need only a kind of Covenant. Each Christian is sealed in Baptismal liturgy to be a signal of love, peace and justice, continuing the ministry of Jesus. Each Christian is demanded to share body and blood to transform the world in a place where all humankind feel the presence of God. Each Christian is invited to promote the inclusion of all excluded to the great Lord’s banquet.
....

The instruments of unity gradually established: Archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Conference, Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates’ Meeting never were seen as canonical rulers with authority to exclude anyone. The links were more heartfelt tha[n] legal. Collegiality and the shared authority were a common and truly accepted spirit of communion.
