Who would want to work for any public institution of higher learning under these conditions?

Not to mention: the last page is repetitive drivel that isn’t grammatically correct, much less contains anything resembling evidence.

If the student chose to give permission for this to be posted, that was (also) a terrible decision.

Sure, right now… but I think anyone who keeps them above Vandy after today is insane.

Not sure A&M has earned it- they lost the one hard game they played. And you better believe I’d watch a 12-seed Vandy lose to any of the above in the first round.

but I do have relatives, refugees as Chris says from other evangelical denominations finding their way to the beauty of liturgy and the function of hierarchy.

I don’t want to feel schadenfreude.

But I do recognize comeuppance.

Love was abandoned for belittling the moral fortitude of fellow clergy who just wanted to accept and affirm my LGBTQ siblings. Unlike Sam, I can’t say I have friends among the ACNA…

So many of the departing statements of those first clergy amounted to intentional burning of bridges, and no sense of conciliation or recognition of that has ever been conveyed back across the divide.

I respect his willingness to commune across difference, and I think he’s right. I’m trying really hard to live up to that admonition. I pray for my Anglican siblings in Christ. But I also often find myself failing- or at least in disagreement with the premise.

A colleague’s son recently wrote an article for The Living Church that pleads with us not to feel “schadenfreude” for the current state of the ACNA. He’s a graduate of Nashotah, and he has friends among the province.

And what the ACNA sees now in its leadership is the unfortunate but imminently predictable result.

So many of those preexisting canons could have been adopted, or adapted, or evaluated for efficacy, but the bishops of the ACNA just didn’t care to do that. Chris pointed out in an earlier episode that the Constitution and Canons of ACNA are a reaction to those of TEC, and I agree.

as, I gather, does Chris and all of the intrepid truth seekers of ACNAToo. By giving lip service to dioceses and parishes creating prevention policies of their own, a gross negligence came from the split of 17 years ago.

What I do see, when I open the Canons, is that they are written in a way that allows for proactive response and prevention. Conversely, when I open ACNA Canons, I find them grossly insufficient for the situation in which the province currently finds itself-

Please understand, I do not think that The Episcopal Church is perfect. I do not think that every person in the church has always handled every allegation or case of abuse exactly properly.

What I find when I think about that, is the sense that she’s right – except that the 30% of people (I would think it’s more, but again: bias) are still in another church with a different policy and a different consideration of lay deputies’ power in the determination of canon law.

14/24

In one of the early episodes of the podcast, one of Chris’s guests said that (I can’t quote it exactly) she was surprised to find that there weren’t at least 30% of people that cared deeply about the issue of abuse within the church.

Fully 20% of women have experienced child sexual abuse, and by some estimates up to a quarter have experienced attempted or completed sexual assault as adults. But clergy in the ACNA can’t fathom this.

Because they’re so drastically predominantly men.

12/24

Wouldn’t the easy solution to this-and the differing condition within TEC that makes this so much harder to fall into- be to ordain women in larger numbers? To consecrate women as Bishops?
