On the subject of boundary crossing, Harvey had this to say, “People talking about boundary crossing and holding up the constitutions of the church as a justification, are often the same people who have been breaking the same constitution. In fact there would be no need for anyone to cross boundaries if bishops such as Michael Ingham of New Westminster had not flagrantly disobeyed its principles some years ago. No disciplinary action was ever taken.

“In my perusal of the Scriptures, I have never seen anything about ecclesiastical boundaries, but I see much proclaiming the truth of the gospel and the Great Commission. That obviously goes beyond all boundaries.”

Harvey noted that we have doctors without borders, lawyers without borders “perhaps now we should have bishops without borders because what is at stake is too important. The bottom line is we are talking about our salvation.”

Harvey said he had been accused of homophobia, and for being a Donatist heretic. “I am not remotely homophobic; I have never condemned a single homosexual person. I disagree with the behavior. I am consistent in scriptural faith and morals. I am a Charismatic Anglo-Catholic and I am completely at home with an evangelical like Archbishop Venables who shares a mutual understanding and respect for the teachings of the gospel. We are close personal friends.”
