Brothers:

Yesterday I was in conversation with 2 ex-Episcopal
priests and Fr. Amos of Cana.

We were planning an "Advance" (not a retreat) in which
we will attempt to broaden our referral and
information networks with a view to making more people
of Indiana aware of the existence of "continuing"
churches and evangelists willing to aid in planting
new churches.

The theme of the "Advance" is "Jesus Christ, the Way
the Truth and the Life."  We have invited persons from
area "continuing churches" to attend a day of
workshops, study and prayer. 

In the course of our discussion, the subject of the
future of the Anglican Communion came up.  None of us
expect ECUSA to change or the Lambeth "first world"
bishops to do more than study.  The two thirds world
Anglicans may well provide an alternative to Lambeth.

The First Things article by Archbishop Henry Luke
Orombi, Bishop Primus of Uganda, makes it clear that
what American Anglicans call the "Third World" is
serious.  If the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Other Bishops of the Anglican Communion fail to
discipline ECUSA, Canterbury will have lost the
majority of the Anglican Communion.  The fact is, most
Anglicans no longer look to Canterbury for spiritual
guidance.  

HEBREWS 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but
we seek one to come.

Here are links to the recent First Things Article and
to older articles on the same theme.
