Covenant Hesitations

Fr Matt KennedyBy Matt Kennedy, Stand Firm

…The problem as it has been articulated is not that the Episcopal Church teaches and promotes a sick and twisted sexual theology that runs counter to all that is revealed in the word of God. The problem is that the Episcopal Church did something that other churches cannot agree with. So it is not so much that TEC has offended God and is leading her people into the darkness of sin and death–rather the offense is that she has done something disruptive to the relationships between Communion churches …


 
1. The Covenant may succeed in removing the Episcopal Church from full participation in Anglican Communion. The radical leftist ideologues who currently call the shots in TEC are not happy with the Covenant and will be pushing hard against submission to it. Anything can happen. I remember rejoicing on the eve of the release of the Windsor Report in 2004 because on first read, as passive and weak as it was, it seemed that it would be too much for TEC to swallow. But I did not take into account the dishonesty and duplicity of Episcopalian bishops. That was then. The Episcopal Church in 2009 is a much different beast. She is now an out of the closet, full speed ahead, no holds barred advocate for sexual perversion and she is no longer willing to bend to Communion sensibilities. She has her own "world-wide" communion, lot's of money, perhaps, too much self-righteous indignation to articulate anything but a zealous and defiant "no" to the Covenant.

If so I will be thankful that the gangrenous infection represent will have been at least prevented from spreading if not completely cut off.
