HE LARGEST Province in the Anglican Communion has declared full communion with the local, schismatic continuing church, made up of people who disagree on Doctrine, Liturgy and Tradition. But they, like their Guru, all agree that they hate the gays with a passion formerly reserved for blacks and Jews.

Fr Mark Explains it all here and here.

This isn’t just a disagreement about scriptural authority, as the conservatives (even the for-peace ones) say. In accepting “full communion” with a fascist theocrat like Akinola they are, essentially, becoming the Anglican version of the German American Bund. Lucky them.

Increasingly the religious right is living up to the labels the left has, for some time unjustly, thrust upon them.

And yet, so many other Anglican jurisdictions keep that full communion with Akinola in place too. It’s not like this is an America-only thing.

In other religious news, seeing how they love each other, the Greek “Orthodox” Metropolis of Boston, having excommunicated the OCA and thus destroying this year’s Sunday of Orthodoxy service, a 50 year tradition, went along to celebrate vespers with the Papists.

Plank Filioque? this is Mote Ego of Methodius: You’re stuck in an eye…

See? The SNAFU of the Visible Church is omnipresent.

Thing is: God still loves us all and is desperately working to reconcile the world to himself in Jesus – and the Church is Jesus’ Body in the world. We do love each other. We do. We’re just not so good at living it.
