Extremely Helpful Summary: The Path of the Episocopal Church

January 30, 2007 10:40 PM

I've written about the Episcopal/Anglican crack-up several times here at NBS, but have been reluctant to devote more time to the topic. Even though I follow it--obsessively--it's just too hard to know where to start. Especially with many non-Anglican readers. So if you're interested, here's a great resource... a timeline of all the major developments. Granted, you really need to start in the Sixteenth Century to get up to speed, but I recognize that's asking a lot.

And for those who are wondering why I'm even interested, it is because I have never felt that the Anglican Communion has as much promise as it does right now. We are on the verge of triangulating out all that is wrong with it: the New England leftists, the militant environmentalists, the folks who think service to the third world means propping up Castro, the anti-Americanism masking as anti-war. Etc. Etc. I'm done with all that.

Hopefully we're all done with all that, and we can go back to being a holy, catholic, and apostolic church.
