PEPtalk Puts “Realignment” in Perspective
|
September 12, 2008.
The September 2008 issue of PEP’s newsletter PEPtalk is a
valuable resource for Pittsburgh Episcopalians seeking to understand the
upcoming votes at the October 4 diocesan convention and related
developments in the wider church. Front-page stories explain the
“realignment” decision that will be before deputies, that is, whether to
remove the diocese from The Episcopal Church and associate it with the
Anglican province of the Southern Cone. They also discuss the potential
deposition of Pittsburgh’s Bishop Robert Duncan, and describe Across the
Aisle, the coalition of theologically diverse Episcopalians opposing the
bishop’s plan. Other features a story on the Lambeth and the Global
Anglican Future Conferences and a commentary on why “realignment” is
improper.
