Duncan compares his situation of Zimbabwe, Dafur and Gaza
We are thankful for the time spent by the Primates of the Anglican Communion in wrestling with tragedies confronting all God’s children, among them the situations in Zimbabwe, Sudan, Gaza, and in the global economic crisis. The suffering in these situations is tremendous and commands the prayerful attention of every Christian.
In North America, though the immediate temporal circumstances are in no way as severe as those in other regions, the spiritual consequences of innovations in Faith and Order are staggering. We are thankful for the many Primates (and Provinces) who continue to stand with those of us in North America who are attempting to remain faithful amidst vast pressures to acquiesce to beliefs and practices far outside of the Christian and Anglican mainstream.
... and so forth.
Is there no shame in making such self-aggrandising comparisons? These so-called 'innovations in Faith and Order' (the language gets more and more Calvinist every day) of TEC are the moral equivalent of starvation, warfare, destruction, violence and death?
Give us a break.

“The Windsor report. It’s just a report. When did it become like the Bible? The Covenant. Why do we need another Covenant? We have the Baptismal Covenant. We have the Creeds. What else do we need?” Bishop Martín Barahona, former Primate of la Iglesia de la Región de Central América and Bishop of the Iglesia Anglicana Episcopal de El Salvador
About Me
- Caminante
- I am a life-long Episcopalian, who has been ordained since 1993. I was rector of a family-size congregation from 1994-2008 and and ended three years as priest in partnership at a pastoral-size congregation in Vermont's fourth-largest city (Rutland) in 2011. Now I am vicar of a tiny congregation in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I am involved in church governance at the diocesan, church-wide and international Anglican levels. I was a member of a CREDO faculty team working with the clergy and lay leaders of l'Eglise Episcopale d'Haiti. I also try to go to El Salvador a few times a year and am officially Canon Missioner of the Anglican Episcopal Church of El Salvador (since 2004). In 2007, I finished the 1570 km Chemin de Saint Jacques/Camino de Santiago de Compostela. I greatly enjoy hiking in the Vermont Greens and NH Whites and reflect on those hikes. In 2010 I also completed walking the 273 mile-long Long Trail in the Green Mountains of Vermont... maybe next the Appalachian Trail? Lastly but most important, I am a cat-fanatic. (N.B. Whatever I post here does not reflect either the opinions of my congregation or of The Episcopal Church but merely those of an individual.)

The man has swallowed his own rhetoric and is desperate to remain in control despite setback after setback. Some who have known him have described him as mentally ill. Sad.
Incroyable! Ils ont vraiment perdu la tête.
Astérix would say "Ils sont fous ces romains" except that in this case it's "Ils sont fous ces anglicans (de Pittsburgh)."
Have them take a little trip to one of those regions for a reality check.
I don't suppose it helps to have been replaced by +Clumber.
It´s true. When emotionally ¨challenged¨ people cultivate relationships with others they often twist the minds, spirit and tolerance level of those who agree to participate by being deceived...it´s more than codependent behavior...it´s self-will running wild as there is absolutely NO CONSIDERATION for the destruction that already is strewn in Duncan past (human and otherwise) and he could care less what´s heading down the Pike...he can´t see reality anymore.
"O wad some Power the gift tae gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us!"
It would appear Duncan has lost all self-awareness and become lost in his fantasies. This is an individual tragedy with wide social consequences.
