In the meantime

Posted on by

No TBTM today as I was caught up in a major parish exercise which occupied all my attention (so the family walked Ollie instead) – more on the study day at another time – but a) I’ve got drawn into a discussion at the Ugley Vicar’s place here which I suspect is a bit of a quicksand trap, but which you might find interesting; and also b) I was most struck by this post at the i-monk’s, which pressed a few buttons, especially this: “I believe every evangelical pastor and church needs to make specific plans to teach and mentor as many persons as possible in a one-on-one, spiritual direction relationship.” Thewhole thing is worth reading.

Wily Welshmen

Posted on by

In the midst of great busyness I’m catching up on a few blogs I haven’t read for a bit – and was glad to find a point of view on ++Rowan that chimes with my own perceptions (ie it isn’t all hate):

…it appears to me that this current action on the part of the wily Welshman is a diplomatic move that gives +Abuja every reason to refuse to remain in Communion with Canterbury. As the Church of Nigeria constitution has already been amended to pave the way, it is now a simple matter to stroll apart in a globally southern manner.

See in particular the comment from Nicholas the Wonder Worker below the main post. Rowan is playing a much deeper game than people give him credit for, including people one might expect to have the charity and intelligence to have perceived it.
