The recent weekend sweep of four dioceses in the Church of England voting against adoption of the Anglican Covenant may have inspired the creation of the website Yes to the Covenant. The content of the site is thin gruel at the moment, but, of course, the site is new, and perhaps their gruel will thicken, given time.
Themethatisme who blogs at conscientisation posted his 'initial reactions' to the reasons given on the website for 'Why we need an Anglican Covenant', which I believe are quite good. He may post 'something a tad more erudite' later, but I'm pleased I caught his early responses because I may not be able to comprehend his later, more erudite responses.
Adrian Worsfold, who blogs at Pluralist Speaks, is no longer a member of the Anglican family, but he does our work for us in his post on the new website. Adrian writes about the repeated references to the Anglican Communion as a worldwide church or global church.
The communion is not now and has never been a worldwide church. Just because pro-covenant people call the Anglican Communion a church doesn't make it so.
