Unintended consequences
I leave in a few hours for our Diocesan Council retreat, and won't be online again until Saturday evening at the earliest. In my absence, I wanted to direct you to a) to Bonnie Anderson's letter four items down blog; b) the excellent responses we have received to The Question of Consensus and c) this questions for today.
Might there be unintended consequences to accepting the recommendations of the Primates? (I keep typing Primates as Pirates. Don't know what that's about.) If so, what might they be?
To get the conversational ball rolling, let me suggest that one unintended consequence of accepting the Primates' recommendations would be the compromising of our political witness. We can hardly ask other people to risk their political or institutional security to help build God's Kingdom when those of us who pledge to do this at Baptism retreat from the field.
What other unintended consequences, positive and negative , do you perceive?
