Covenant debate warms in CoE
Perhaps as an object of concern, the Anglican Covenant is now slowly moving to the front burner. Lesley Fellows, who serves as Moderator of the No Anglican Covenant Coalition and the group's Convenor in the Church of England, engaged in a brief but lively debate about the proposed Covenant with the Bishop of St. Asaph, Gregory Cameron, on BBC Radio Four's "Sunday" program.
A program link using BBC's iPlayer (the debate begins at 24 minutes) is currently available but only for a week. You can also listen to it as a podcast.
Conversation ranged from the proposed Covenant's chances at General Synod to basic perceptions about the document. Fellows told host Edward Stourton the Covenant as it stands has insurmountable problems.
It’s going to narrow the acceptable beliefs that we’ve enjoyed so much in the broad church. And I don’t think it’s going to work either - I think it’s an attempt to save the Communion, but it’s a document of schism.
Here's Mr. Cat-O-Lick on the subject:
