Bishop Duncan's Address at Nashotah House
Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh's address on "The Future of Anglicanism" delivered at Nashotah House (where he received an honorary degree yesterday) is available here. One highlight:
We have reached the moment where a mediation to achieve disengagement is the only way forward. I believe that the other Episcopal Church – the one not represented in this convocation [at Nashotah House] – has finally also come to that conclusion, as well. I believe that a mediated settlement will be in place by this time next year, or that the principals will be well on their way to such a settlement. How can we set one another free to proclaim the gospel (the Truth) as we, so differently, understand it? How can we bless one another as cousins, rather than oppress one another as brothers? The day for a serious and wide-ranging mediation has arrived. This will have an immense impact on the present and the future of Anglicanism, and it cannot come too soon.
Resume Tex: From the good bishop's lips to God's ears!
