Matt Kennedy of Stand Firm writes:
The Response by the House of Bishops, joined with their earlier responses and those of the Executive Council, represents an utter rejection of the Primate’s request. There is a bold commitment to permit same sex blessings. There is an avenue ripe for exploitation with regard to episcopal consents. And, as was evident in past statement and in this Response, there will be no attempt to provide adequate oversight for dissenting people, parishes, and/or dioceses. The very sad thing is that the Windsor Bishops did not lose the fight. They did not fight.
Amen.
And now, good bishops, think of all those people caught up in sexual sin, who are Sunday by Sunday, being led away in chains toward the darkness and away from Christ. What have you done for them? You gave their false shepherds your consent. You stood aside. You let go the responsibilities of your office. You won a seat with Canterbury. It is a sad, sad day.
This prostration before the altars of polity, and now Canterbury, have me well and truly disgusted with Anglicanism. What’s the point of anything goes theology? That’s what you have in Anglicanism today. “Reason” has blotted out Scripture, and vestments are only a nod to Tradition. There is no theological Trinity anymore.

Is it any wonder? unless we fix our structure problem(among other things) we are doomed to continue to degenerate into paganism. The problem is that there is no real order in the communion, we are afraid of leaving because we don’t want to be called schismatics, yet we have no real force to enforce orthodoxy.
I was thinking the other day. what is Anglicanism exactly, and you know the funniest thing i was not able to come up with a clear answer.
perhaps we should revel in the term schismatics. I seem to recall that, according to Eusebius, the early churches were very accepting of heresy / pseudo Christian doctrines.
