Two documents have been published by InclusiveChurch and can be found from this page:
An Anglican Covenant?
InclusiveChurch believes that the Anglican Communion offers a creative and dynamic vision of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our structures, while loose and complex, mean that both tradition and development have a vital place in our attempts to live out the Gospel. Following the first Draft issued by the Covenant Drafting Committee and the way in which it influenced the Primates’ discussions in Dar Es Salaam, we have serious doubts about the proposed Draft Covenant. Tim Bartel and Savi Hensman have written responses which can be seen below:
- Casting off the Garment of Humility – Tim Bartel sets out some of the implications of the wording of the proposed Covenant.
- Love and Witness in a broken world – Savitri Hensman sets out her concern that the Covenant will lead to more, not less, disunity
The links above are to MS Word documents. For ease of access html pages are also available:
We Pass, but thanks anyway for the chance to be persecuted by puritan zealots.
It is interesting now that an inclusive Church is being seen as Covenant free. The price is too high (pity I didn’t wait and get the book review on to one of these Inclusive Church news items).
