From my friend the Rev. Andrew Brashier, a priest and archdeacon in the Anglican Church in North America. I very much doubt his plea will be heeded, which is why schism is likely inevitable.
Archdeacon Brashier calls out both Bishop Chip Edgar and Bishop Todd Hunter for their vacuous responses concerning the Mere Anglican Conference/Calvin Robinson+ debacle. This reply to +Edgar is an absolute jewel, and is illustrative of the said vacuity of his response:
However, the bishop’s recent statement causes further confusion by stating the Province is “deeply committed to the idea that both those who favor women’s ordination, and those who oppose it, do so in fidelity to scripture and are both welcomed and valued in our common life.” The College of Bishops' unanimous statement demonstrates “insufficient scriptural warrant” for one to promote this innovation with fidelity to the Holy Scriptures.
Unfortunately, contravention exists in the following statement: “I, as your bishop, believe that the ordination of women comports with the teaching of scripture, most importantly, and is not ruled out by the tradition of the church” (emphasis added). This runs contrary to the College’s unanimous statement that women’s ordination “is a recent innovation to the Apostolic Tradition and Catholic Order” therefore by definition it cannot be supported and is precisely ruled out by “the tradition of the church” (emphasis added). This Province is bound to uphold the faith once delivered, whether Holy Scripture or Apostolic tradition, thereby requiring rejection of innovation: “brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” (2 Thessalonians 2:15, Authorized Version).
There it is.
