By Daniel Burke c. 2008 Religion News Service CANTERBURY, England -- For five years, Conservative Episcopalians eager to escape their liberal American church have been building ties with African Anglicans half a world away. But they have few connections with black Americans in their own back yard, say black Episcopal bishops gathered here for a once-a-decade meeting of Anglican prelates. "It's something that I like to point out," said the Bishop Eugene Sutton,the first black Episcopal bishop in Maryland, "the historical anomaly of dioceses that have nothing to do with the black community going all the way to Africa to make these relationships." Moreover, Sutton and other black bishops here say that the use of Scripture to reject homosexuality in the Anglican Communion evokes previous eras' Biblically based arguments in support of slavery and racism. African prelates, however, reject that argument, and American conservatives say it is shared theology -- not race -- that motivates their alliances. "This is just another revisionist attempt to use anything to undermine the orthodox position of the church and spread the agenda of inclusiveness," said the Right Rev. Peter Beckwith, the Conservative bishop of Springfield, Ill. While the eight black Episcopal bishops here favor gay rights in their church, most Africans from the wider Anglican Communion disagree. That conflict forms a part of the larger split running through the Lambeth Co ... Source: au.christiantoday.com --- 65 days ago

Exploring the notion that some Anglican parishes could soon return to full communion with Rome in protest of the Church of England allowing ordination of female bishops, Time magazine writers David Van Biema and Jeff Israely felt it necessary to throw in some loaded language about how English Conservative Anglicans are different than their American Episcopal cousins: Both the special nature of the English crisis and the Pope's possible involvement hinge on the fact that most of the English dissidents this week are not the evangelical, Bible-thumping members of the Communion whose fury at the American ordination of an openly gay bishop has led to talks of schism this summer. Rather they are members of a faction, heavy on liturgy and ritual, that abhors evangelicalism but considers itself very close to the Catholicism from which the Anglican Church originally sprang. But wait, if Conservative Anglicans across the Pond are about to bolt their church because the Bible forbids female bishops, how is that any less "Bible-thumping" than Conservative Episcopals in the United States leaving the church because of openly homosexual bishops, a practice that also runs afoul of Scripture? What's more, what's the basis for Van Biema and Israely insisting that members of a highly liturgical church tradition necessarily "abhors evangelicalism"? Are they forgetting Anglican evangelical theologian John Stott , profiled three years ago in their own ...

CANADA: It is impossible to go back, bishops say of moratoria by MARITES N. SISON staff writer The Anglican Journal September 2, 2008 Canterbury, England Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, said he wasn't surprised with the Lambeth Conference's call for a moratorium on actions that have led to divisions over sexuality. He said that bishops needed to be honest that this has been "a huge, huge challenge to implement." Archbishop Hiltz said that the moratorium and other recommendations are matters for the Canadian house of bishops and the Council of General Synod - the church's governing body between General Synods - to discuss. Bishops were also presented with a proposal to create a pastoral forum that would create a "safe space" for Conservative Anglicans who have left their churches. ...

Dave McGinn continues on his August quest to find something new in the city’s past. Today: Cathedral Church of St. James, and the Bishop John Strachan What Cathedral Church of St. James Where 65 Church St. Where’s the Bishop? Long dead, of course. But his body is buried under the cathedral’s High Altar. Old school The Cathedral Church is the oldest congregation in Toronto. First established in 1797, the first church constructed on the site was a simple wooden structure. In 1818, an addition was added and in 1828 it was dedicated to St. James. It was ravaged by fire in 1839, the same year John Strachan was consecrated as the first bishop of Toronto. The cathedral was destroyed again by fire in 1849. The church that stands today opened for services on June 19, 1853. The tower was completed in 1874. Aim high The cathedral’s spire makes it the second tallest church in Canada, behind Saint Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal. You keep on knocking but you can’t come in This was the church of the Family Compact, the group of Conservative British loyalists who controlled Toronto in the 19th century. Each pew has a door because each pew had to be rented, just like Jesus intended. Poor Anglicans were kept out. Strachan’s hold on the city Bishop Strachan was the unofficial leader of the Family Compact, according to Bruce Bell, Toronto’s unofficial historian. As such, Strachan’s influence in the city was immense. Saviour of the city B ...
