The reason why I blog is that I seek to work things through in community. Many of these issues are not part and parcel of your average day in parish, they are informing actions but they are not often explicitly being wrestled with. The real business on the ground takes on another dimension somehow and I thank God for that. <br /><br />In 2009 ABC said ABC 'perhaps we are faced with the possibility rather of a ‘two-track’ model, two ways of witnessing to the Anglican heritage. . . To recognise different futures for different groups must involve mutual respect for profoundly held convictions.' (2009, 2502)<br /><br />You are right in some ways, I reckon my problem is that I do not want to have to choose between these two tracks. I have much to learn from journeying with people along both and no doubt there are other tracks I am even yet to discover, this blog investigating more the evangelical position than say, the Anglo-Catholic, for example. See my latest on Avis for more. Thanks for your observation.Rev R Marszalekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831340057673771787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-87672034254867872862011-06-27T21:33:02.215+01:002011-06-27T21:33:02.215+01:00Rachel, step by step you are moving in the liberal...Rachel, step by step you are moving in the liberal direction, though you are scarcely aware of it. Your last post of "marriage equality" suggest you have great difficulty even understanding the matter from the evangelical, biblical perspective. When you start looking at things in abstract "justice" categories, instead of the clear teaching of Scripture of thwe redeemd life in Christ, you will end up endorsing the liberal viewpoint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-43401467153239554862011-06-27T08:34:38.672+01:002011-06-27T08:34:38.672+01:00Is this the Hooker of faith versus the Hooker of h...Is this the Hooker of faith versus the Hooker of history?<br />Rachel, iti s understandable that you are not keen about a group that is not particularly keen on women priests. But I wonder if you are really aware of what is happening in world Anglicanism - or even in England? Note how that "evangelical" bishop James Jones now endorses homosexual relationships. This is the church you are now seeking to lead. <br />Evangelicals have been excluded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-14382458249842437342011-06-26T23:26:43.882+01:002011-06-26T23:26:43.882+01:00Thanks Rachel for the enlightening post - I was no...Thanks Rachel for the enlightening post - I was not aware of SPREAD. I agree totally with your assessment. To be reformed and evangelical does not necessarily mean we all fit into the GAFCON mold. <br /><br />Prayers and blessings for your impending ordination. You are truly a blessing to God's kingdom - and it is all about the kingdom that God so desperately wants us to embrace.Curate Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209317942574766814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-81333247994918062982011-06-26T22:17:48.032+01:002011-06-26T22:17:48.032+01:00Thank you, friends.

You raise some interesting issues - I think this all matters to me because I am evangelical but working within current structures, I too hope that AMIE realises that there are evangelical Anglican churches that are kingdom-building.Rev R Marszalekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831340057673771787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-86520255632890426732011-06-26T20:17:31.809+01:002011-06-26T20:17:31.809+01:00Best wishes for your ordination, Rachel!
