From the Rector

 We had a very interesting day together at St Michael and All Angels' Church on Saturday, January 22, discussing and hearing presentations about the new Anglican Covenant.  The document attempts to set forth the nature of the fellowship that Anglicans have together in our communion with each other.  There is also a section which attempts to set out a process by which we can hold each other accountable.  Therein is the difficulty--one of many I suppose.  There are those who think the whole document ought to be stronger and more devoted to maintaining the boundaries, and others who fear that the boundaries may be drawn too tightly.  But in any case, the beauty of the document is that it describes the nature of our common life in the Anglican Communion in a quite beautiful way.  It would repay quite close study--especially when it deals with the nature of Anglican Mission, as well as Anglican Identity.  If you wish to read it, please check the link below.
