POPSThe Anglican Bubble It's like he thinks the issue just came up last week and we're all holding our breath for Irish Anglicans to lead the church to a resolution! The salt has lost its savor.

POPSNew fears of Anglican schism over homosexuality About 280 bishops and 750 lay people, including bishops' spouses, are expected to meet in Jerusalem from June 22 to 29 for what they are calling the "Global Anglican Future Conference," organizers said. They include a majority of the bishops from Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and parts of Tanzania, who plan to boycott the Lambeth Conference this year. The rest of those at the Jerusalem Conference are from England, the United States, Australia and some countries in Asia and Latin America.

POPSJurisdictionalism hits Anglicans Anglicanism in the USA seems to be on its way to becoming a tangled mess of separate jurisdictions even more complicated than the jurisdictional mess in the Orthodox Church there. Some US Episcopalians have linked to Anglican dioceses in various parts of Africa, and now South America has jumped in. For the last 150 years or so the Orthodox diaspora has led to competing episcopal jurisdictions in places like Western Europe, North America and Australia. One can find overlapping juriisdictions of Greek, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian and other bishops. Now the same thing is beginning to happen among the Anglicans, with Kenyan, Ugandan, Nigerian and now Argentinian bishops having overlapping jurisdictions. At least among the Orthodox, despite language and ethnic differences, there is the same faith.

POPSPriests defect to Anglican church Even theological "authorities" on god cannot come to terms about "the rules" and agree upon interpretation. If you cannot even agree about the demands of god within your own house how can you even pretend to have any authority to describe god and interpret your own scriptures to others? I also notice the worry over finances as interesting. I see this as yet one more bit of proof of the commercialization of religion. Seems to me that with church organizations acting like businesses then they should be taxed like them.

POPSPope speaks to Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury The Pope tells it as it is here folks. Anglicans have strayed quite a ways in respect to morals and the ordained ministry over the past forty years or so. I don't have any hope that the Archbishop will be able to do anything (assuming he even wanted to) about thos issues. For the most part the Anglicans have gone way too far and will in many cases need to be treated as converts from a non-christian faith in returning to the Church.
