highlyeccentricSydney Anglicans trying to outst Canterbury?
what I don't get is that Jensen has apparently offered episcopal oversight to conservatives in Canada (there's conservatives in Canada? who knew?). Doesn't that go against the very concept of diocesan organisation- which is older than the Anglicans and, for that matter, older than the Roman Catholic Church as we know it???
and secondly, assuming that as a conservative Anglican bishop you neither want to see the church slide into dangerous liberalism, nor splinter into morally divergent blocs, isn't it counter-intuitive to remove a conservative church from an already liberal diocese? Wouldn't you want to offer them partnership, training, brainwashing, and the like, in order that they might remain a strong conservative voice in their corrupted diocese? This article is tracing links between Jensen and conservatives all over the globe- in the cases of individual churches, rather than whole dioceses or even nations, isn't taking them under his wing doing exactly what he says won't happen- creating two parrallel Churches within the Anglican Communion?
