I have tended to be wary about devoting much energy to the Anglican “Covenant” here. I do not see much value in debates that generate more heat than light. We can so easily get distracted – making majors out of minors…
But then Bosco goes on to devote a little energy to the Anglican Covenant, not a lot, just a little. And I, who have blathered on and on about the covenant, have said nothing even one tenth as excellent, clear, to the point, and which covers as many bases as Bosco does in his post. It seems there is much to be said for writing while wary. I'll have to try it some time. Please read Bosco's post.
Grandmère Mimi, I love you.

Grandmère is correct (as usual).
ReplyDeleteBosco, I love you back, m'dear. Good work.

ReplyDeleteMimi, your judgement has always struck me as impeccable on most issues, wary or not.
I feel to much of an outsider to Anglicanism now to read much about the Covenant. It's so offputting, all of it.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you are too kind, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe quality of the writing in the text is certainly less than first-rate, and there is a whiff of insincerity about it, of beating around the bush, that also puts me off.

ReplyDeleteDon't bother. If you think people come here for stale, reasoned debate, then you should book yourself in to the home for the bewildered straight away.
People come here for your passion. People go to "Liturgy" (a fine website) for information.

ReplyDeleteMadPriest, I know you meant to compliment me, but you've destroyed the meaning of my life. :-)
you've destroyed the meaning of my life.
ReplyDeleteWow! Does that mean you're going to stop trying to reform me?
MadPriest, I stopped trying to reform you some time ago. I thought you'd notice.
ReplyDeleteWell, excuse me for not knowing the difference between reforming nagging and non-reforming nagging!
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time I nagged you? Cathy and I still have not had a glimpse of your photos of our trip to Scotland, which, if you remember, was in August of last year. Have I nagged you about that, MadPriest?
ReplyDeleteYou can count this comment as a small nag.
