They have not begun to pay the price required and the next few years will place a great burden on them. Already it appears at least three ACN bishops will not be joining them, in fact one has made intentions pretty clear that he's staying inside TEC today. Considering the times, I believe everything went very well as it happened. <BR/><BR/>Bishops are suppose to be able to lead and perhaps the less distraction was best for last week. However I do hope laity are brought into the process. One more layer maybe more than can be carried at this exact moment. The same for bringing the Continuing Churches in at time, yet I do hope they are soon.<BR/><BR/>Still, REC/++Venables can play a valuable role in soliciting Continuing Churches into the FACA. I believe the FACA is complementary to Common Cause Partnership and at this stage being a loose trade type organization, it does provide some of the commonality yet without a larger governance structure CCP is building, it ready to join now. I personally favor the spirit of what you wrote but in a practical term I appreciate +Duncan and others are probably very taxed and do wanting any other items on their plates. This may be an avenue to the challenge you gave.<BR/><BR/>This is a high risk venture but then playing it safe is what lead PCUSA into trouble. May the Lord grant His wisdom and protection to these men.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261766465382455822noreply@blogger.com
