Part 377. Obfuscation and delay.

Further implementation of Living in Love and Faith was not on the agenda of this week's General Synod of the Church of England on the dubious grounds that more theological analysis and reflection is needed.  This is bunk: there is a mass of relevant information available for consideration.

What we are witnessing are deliberate attempts to engineer delay being made by The Alliance, the Church of England Evangelical Council and the Holy Trinity Brompton organisation, aided and abetted in part by Forward in Faith.  The purpose of this scheming is to secure time to further develop the groundwork for schism should the campaign for a third province fail. This may be seen against the background of elections for General Synod. The motley collection of puritanical conservative evangelical protestants and Anglo-Catholics will be hoping to secure a blocking majority in the House of Laity.
