Matt Harper's Prayers
I really appreciated this comment from Matt/Heathcliff:
This is how I am praying:
1. That ECUSA publicly repents for not only the ordination of an unchaste bishop but for decades of impurity and failing discipline.
Short of that . . .
2. That the break between orthodox Anglicans and heterodox Anglicans is clear and tidy. No long drawn out court battles over church property. No orthodox US parishes debating what to do. Make it clear. ECUSA has no claim to being Anglican, and the Anglican Church worldwide recognizes an official branch of the Anglican church in the US. I don't want to see this split render the faithful in two. I won't feel at peace being in ECUSA if ECUSA is kicked out of the worldwide communion. But I don't want to leave ECUSA unless all the other faithful Anglicans do the same.
Pray for peace and justice. And for humility, especially for folks like me and Elizabeth. Amen.
