I just tried to find the 2/14 daily update on google video, but it was not there. I hope you will continue to post them there also. I am on dial-up and the only way I can see the videos is to download and view them—my connection is too slow to watch them straight from Stand Firm.

Request: Could you please put the “Contribute to Stand Firm”/Paypal button somewhere on the homepage where it is easy to find? I am probably missing something right in front of me, and if so, I apologize. What you are doing with these updates is marvelous, and I know it must be costly….

Thanks again,
Liz

Nice report, but do you have any word on whether the primates will ask for the resignation of Kenneth Kearon from the ACC where he plays the role of Anglicanism’s Kim Philby?

It must be Valentine’s Day - b/c no one has told Matt how to pronounce something as of yet.

Good analysis.

[*LOL*] Yeah ... well, we should be nice every once in a while.

Thank you, Matt. I’ve enjoyed your reporting, you have good perspective and awesome guest as well.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Accepting the Sub-Group Report——- or not.

While we standby for the final work of the Primates, I have been trying to make sense for myself of the importance of the Report. It is very speculative to do so over the horizon, but I am seeing it as if it were a resolution at a meeting to be voted up or down following what is obviously very intense debate about the future.

At the close of play, it seems much more important than to merely decide the continuing status of the Episcopal Church in the Anglican Communion. By agreeing to full and accepted status of TEC as it continues down a path of fully being co-opted by the secular GLBT agenda, a vote in favor of TEC looks to me like a vote by the Anglican Communion to go down that road as well—aligning itself with TEC and even deferring to TEC the role of leadership in the Communion.

No wonder they are working so hard behind closed doors! The future of the whole Communion is possibly at stake—not at stake organically but at stake in the sense of the whole Communion’s purpose in the whole Christian enterprise.
