Breakaway Anglicans hope for seat in the communion

Full story: www2.journalnow.com

Conservative Anglicans disenchanted with the liberal drift in their U.S. and Canadian churches say they are confident that a new church body started this week will one day gain a seat in the worldwide Anglican Communion. The new Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) has been organized, its leaders say, as an alternative for Anglicans who disagree with the theology of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada ...

"... The preamble to the newly adopted constitution states the ACNA is 'grieved by the current state of brokenness within the Anglican Communion prompted by those who have embraced erroneous teaching and who have rejected a repeated call to repentance.'

The church's canons define marriage as 'a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman,' prohibit the blessing of same-sex unions and female bishops, as well as non-celibate gay clergy."

These people are so serious about their wonderful church of england. A church that was started by a king who wanted to get a divorce so he could have sex with a young girl more to his liking.

I can't belong to a church that considers a gay person equal. Let's break away from the mother church who says it might be OK."

Get your facts straight: the Anglcian Church was not started by Henry VIII, but by his daughter, Elizabeth I.

Further, Henry was desperate for a male heir; his divorce from Catherine of Aragón and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn was only the means to obtaining a son and heir.

"Duncan said he is in regular contact with Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the head of the Anglican Communion, but had not received a formal acknowledgement of his election."

I wonder why....

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Leo

If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now.
