• MCU on the Revision Committee

  
  Thinking Anglicans — Authority: 580
  The Modern Churchpeople’s Union has written about Women Bishops and the Revision Committee: MCU has published a paper that welcomes the Revision Committee’s change of policy. However, it questions the emphasis on seeking to satisfy the opponents of women bishops...

• George Pitcher: It’s time for Dr Rowan Williams to square up to a rampant Rome

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  But if Dr Williams has been determined not to make a drama out of this crisis, the Pope has been playing to the gallery. And its his strategy we should be focused on. Unlike the Bishop of Southwark, I dont want Dr Williams to express his "disappointment", I want him to ask, perhaps a little more politely than in my ...

• Key to Anglican distress

  
  A View from Middle England by Arden Forester — Authority: 131
  The Revision Committee of the Church of England ( overseeing the introduction of women bishops ) has just given a snub to traditionalists by not giving any safeguards to protect their beliefs. Maybe this was a change of mind due to the Popes recent intervention in the matter. It pleases the zealots of the ...

• The Bishop of Huntingdon on the press release from Revision Committee on Women in the Episcopate

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  After much discussion, the members of the Committee were unable to identify a basis for specifying particular functions for vesting which commanded sufficient support both from those in favour of the ordination of women as bishops and those unable to support that development. As a result all of the proposals for ...

• Snub to traditionalists over women bishops

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  The committee has since been unable to agree on any compromise deal and will instead recommend to the General Synod, that the Church should proceed with appointing women bishops on the same terms as their male counterparts. Although individual bishops could still make special provision for traditional clergy there ...

• Catholic Herald: Rome opens arms to world’s Anglicans

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  Surprising aspects of the document include the provision that married former Anglican bishops can serve as the ordinary, or head of an ordinariate, take part in bishops conference meetings and be able to keep the episcopal insignia - for example, their crosier and mitre. Former Anglican clergymen entering the Catholic ...

• Nicholas Lash on the Vatican Apostolic Constitution Announcement: What were they thinking of?

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  We have the theory, but await the practice. The failure of “Rome” to inform the Archbishop of Canterbury until the last minute; the bypassing of the bishops’ conferences most affected by the proposal – this is of a piece with the issuing, in 2007, of the apostolic letter Summorum Pontificum, encouraging ...

• Snub to traditionalists over women bishops

  
  Anglican Mainstream — Authority: 155
  By Jonathan Wynne Jones, Telegraph Traditionalist clerics in the Church of England have been delivered a major snub after a compromise deal over women bishops was rejected.  Anglo catholics and evangelicals had hoped the church would appoint dedicated male bishops to oversee them. But yesterday the Churchs ...

• [COE] Cost of Church of England bishops increases by £2 million

  
  Stand Firm — Authority: 146
  The Times Online details some incredible hypocrisy here : But the Church Commissioners, who manage the Church’s assets, still spent £7.3 million on the maintenance of houses, offices and gardens. This cost dropped in the past two years from £7.9 million in 2007 and £8.6 million in 2006 but there is still a ...

• [COE] Church Society Conducts Senior Appointments Survey & Discovers More Than Discrimination

  
  Stand Firm — Authority: 146
  I found the Church Societys survey results -- [reprinted from Cross†Way Issue Autumn 2009 No. 114] -- fascinating. I expected them to find what we all already realize, which is that non-WO-supporting evangelicals are not appointed very much to senior posts in the COE. What I found surprising is the survey ...

• NO NEED FOR LAWYERS CRAWLING OVER CHURCH PROPERTY

  
  Anglican Mainstream — Authority: 155
  By Julian Mann The Church of England faces a choice over churches wanting to leave it whether to join the Roman Catholics or to form an orthodox Province in the UK: it can behave with pompous officiousness like TEC going to court over church property or it can deploy some generous lateral thinking for the sake of ...

• A Church Times Interview with theologian Alison Milbank

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  It was my children who told me about Tolkien, and said I should read The Lord of the Rings. I had thought it was a book for boys, and was pleasantly surprised to find wonderful feisty heroines in it. But it’s also very melancholic, and you are led to long for something beyond it: the ending is quite unsatisfying, ...

• Ancient Richborough – BBC News

  
  Anglican Mainstream — Authority: 155
  By Edwin Barnes, Musings of a one-time PEV The CofE is dropping its plans to make provision for those opposed to women bishops, according to todays BBC lunchtime radio news. There was no hint of where this news came from. It does not appear to be a press release on that dire CofE website. So who is supposed to have ...

• Michael McKinnon: Is unity possible between Catholics and Anglicans?

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  With so much in common, will many orthodox Anglicans be taking the Pope up on his recent offer? Is this the end of the English Reformation? Probably not. The primacy of Scripture and the Catholic Faith and Order of the early Church serve as the very foundation of the English Reformation and historic Anglicanism. ...

• A Tablet Editorial on the Vatican Proposal: The Other Path to Rome

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  Perhaps because of lack of consultation with both Catholic and Anglican authorities in England, the CDF seems to have failed to grasp what Anglo-Catholicism is really all about. Its fundamental aim was to reassert the Catholic credentials of the Church of England as the “ancient Catholic Church of these lands” ...

• A Church Times Editorial on the Vatican Proposal: Checkpoint Charlie for Anglicans

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 591
  To change the metaphor, the wall that has existed between Rome and Canterbury still stands, maintained, it must be said, largely by Rome. Gates have allowed those led by their consciences to pass across to the other side, but the slow, painstaking work of chipping away at the edifice — which many Anglicans thought ...

• Church of England’s response is forming…

  
  Anglican Mainstream — Authority: 155
  By Edward Tomlinson A press release issued by the revision comittee of the General Synod today further highlights why Rome’s offer is so welcome to Catholic Anglicans. One might have assumed the revision committee would counteract the Pope’s gesture by offering something equally substantive and generous, a ...
