Taking the risk of being tiresome I must once again point out that if Kevin Forrester backs out or he’s voted down, TEC is just going to declare orthodoxy and move on -even more confidently- toward GC2009. Forrester’s defeat or withdrawal, in either case, will be ultimately a DEFEAT for everyone who campaigned against him (yes, even I wrote my bishop on this one) because TEC will be able to point to the Forrester defeat/withdrawal and brag how doctrinally orthodox they really are, and that being so orthodox the LGBT issues they will vote to approve are ipso facto orthodox as well. I predict!

ASP,

Doesn’t matter what is done re Genpo - Anaheim will be a freak show. It will give the lie to any pretensions of TEC orthodoxy.

No matter how they try to cloak their actions at GC2009, they will still be the same apostate political organization masquerading as a Church.

Greg is correct.  TEC will use KTGF’s defeat as proof positive of their “orthodoxy.”

They strain at Buddhism and swallow apostacy…...

Time will tell what happens in Anaheim this summer.  I expect it to be awful in ways that may surpass our worst fears.  But meanwhile, it’s certainly striking that a diocese as ultra-liberal as NY has voted NO on Forrester.

Well, at least they’ve shown some common sense!

Interesting news from DioGA. Someone ought to ask how Henry Louttit has voted. He has moderate leanings, but seems to be a solid BCP person.

I am astonished - and gratified - by the DioGA decision, especially considering the one member of the standing committee that I know personally, whom I would have thought would cheer Forrester on.

If you are astonished, oscewicee, you can imagine what I am that NY voted no.  Have they been raised from the dead?  My goodness, what is that Diocese coming to?  But maybe they will make up the aberration by voting against the covenant and declaring independence from the Anglican Communion at GenCon.
