An example of obfuscation

The Rev. Canon Kendall Harmon, canon theologian for the South Carolina diocese, told ENS that the convention's action is "significant … in that it enables us to pursue the bishop's vision of making biblical Anglicans for a global age while resisting the national leadership's attempts to change our polity in violation of own constitution and the basic principles of justice and due process."

There's another term for this: nonsense (and worse, falsehood).

Our standing committee spent hours on the consent process for this diocese and ultimately voted not to consent because these actions are precisely what we felt would happen. We were not assured by their bishop-elect's statements that he would make efforts to remain fully in The Episcopal Church. It is said and wrong to say, 'We told you so,' but unfortunately, we were not off the mark.

May those Episcopalians who want to be part of the broad church and not some dressed-up Calvinist break-away sect find safe places to worship and be assured that they are not crazy nor consorting with the evil.

As the Anglican Digest of which Mr Harmon is its editor would say: Makes the heart sad.
