From this morning's web surfing ...

Commentary by Jim Naughton (The Daily Episcopalian) on Rowan on the Covenant

I don't think he's given much encouragement to people who want the Episcopal and Canadian churches tossed out of the Communion. In fact, I think that for the near term, that ship has sailed. It may return at the conclusion of the covenant drafting process, and we may be faced with the choice of swallowing our principles to retain our membership, but, again, in the near term, I think the notion that we will be anything other than full members of the Anglican Communion has no basis.

Fr. Jake (Father Jake Stops the World) on Supporting Faithful Episcopalians in San Joaquin

There are a number of faithful Episcopalians within San Joaquin. One would hope that the leadership of TEC will respond to their needs. But, if past actions are any indication of the future, we can't count on that happening. Consequently, it is very important that we respond on a grassroots level to the needs of those feeling abandoned with no place to turn.

If the covenant process takes as much time as most things in the church - the sun will have exploded and the earth will have been consumed - so who will care? Or the church will become so irrelevant to following Christ that we won't care.
