World Anglicanism is going through tremendous turmoil in this generation. Have some Anglicans abandoned the truth of the gospel over homosexuality in the church? Or are they standing in the way of the guidance of the Spirit of God in the life of the church? Is the debate really about authority, or even the reversal of previous generations of ecclesiastical colonialism, or perhaps the perpetuation of them?
There are serious questions at stake in the present conflicts in World Wide Anglicanism and they need to be seriously addressed. Public rhetoric thrown across the internet won’t help confront the issues in a way which reflects the christian responsibilities of Anglicans.
Following the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in Jerusalem and the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury bridges need to be built. Bridges will help, but the traffic on those bridges needs to facilitate understanding and to reflect the moral character of the faith that all parties profess.
This Blog offers such respectful serious conversation and invites contributions that contribute to that purpose from whatever perspective.
You also will find here some links to sources and other discussions that contribute to this conversation. The Blog does not aim to resolve these conflicts, but rather to contribute to their resolution by promoting respectful understanding.
