A TEST DRIVE? NO THANK YOU

Canon Alan Perry, who blogs at Insert Catchy Blog Title Here, and is a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, has written a remarkable series of in-depth posts on the proposed Anglican Covenant. His latest is titled Test Driving the Anglican Covenant – Part 1. It is excellent.

I believe that I'd rather not test drive the proposed covenant. After reading Alan's recent post and his earlier posts parsing the document, I'll take Alan's word for it that the covenant will very likely solve nothing and will rather exacerbate the frustration and anger experienced by certain members of the churches in the Anglican Communion.

In Alan's next to last post, titled Yes, Virginia, There is an Alternative, he punches enough holes in the TINA ("There is no alternative.") excuse for adopting the covenant to turn it into a sieve. See for yourself.
