Following the traumatic emotional experiences
of all the delegates at the last Anglican Synod, Archbishop Kerr-Wilson suggested
the Anglican Church of Canada needs to "find a better way forward". Let
me propose that since the bishops are consecrated and charged with the unique responsibility
to "...guard the faith, unity and discipline of the Church." (BAS p.
637) a better way forward would be to take back this responsibility which they
unwisely shared with Synod delegates. We are living in a very confused
post-truth time when our House of Bishops badly needs to change direction from
meekly pandering to special interest groups to avoid conflict; to boldly
proclaiming God's grace, love, forgiveness and healing to all God's children.
This will mean directly and publicly challenging the false teachers who many
believe have been de-constructing the Christian Faith, clearly correcting the
false teachings that have destroyed our unity and enforcing serious discipline
on the clergy and bishops who are causing this disunity.
