However from the photographic evidence and from what you write - it is obvious that your heart is still in the right place.<br /><br />Every Blessing,<br /><br />Father DavidFather Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902961006821419938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-35905236049173415472010-02-11T08:12:47.037+00:002010-02-11T08:12:47.037+00:00Ah, Father David - but remember too that we are to...Ah, Father David - but remember too that we are to be not only dovelike, but also wise as serpents. Yes I hope; I hope you might be right and that the Synod can extricate itself from the mess it has got into; but that hope should not make us shy away from reality - which is that in human terms there is little possibility of the CofE ever recovering her catholic credentials. But HOPE, certainly - for a renewed church within the Ordinariate, which eventually might win over the whole Church of England. Meanwhile, keep the prayers going. +EEdwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213363119774322096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-72117802965255662302010-02-11T06:32:29.189+00:002010-02-11T06:32:29.189+00:00Bishop Edwin has for so long been tied up in the m...Bishop Edwin has for so long been tied up in the machinations of Byzantine Church politics that he seems to have lost sight of the three things that last forever, as far as the future for faithful, hopeful and loving Catholics within the Church of England is concerned. <br />The second of these is HOPE!<br />So, please don't give up hope, as far as our future in the Established Church is concerned, just yet bishop.<br /><br />Yours ever, from the "lovely world he inhabits"<br /><br />Father DavidFather Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902961006821419938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-40823000759055643952010-02-10T19:01:44.510+00:002010-02-10T19:01:44.510+00:00Dwight Longenecker has an excellent piece on his b...Dwight Longenecker has an excellent piece on his blog "Standing on my Head" http://gkupsidedown.blogspot.com/2010/02/archbishop-of-canterbury-church-may.html<br />It's all been said before and we know all that, but its worth a read to remind us of why we are where we are.<br />DL's blog on the whole is worth a regular visit - click on "Blog Home" in the lh column on the above siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318946601530749054.post-62736057269898167092010-02-10T00:27:38.710+00:002010-02-10T00:27:38.710+00:00As sorry as I am to see the way so many of you hav...As sorry as I am to see the way so many of you have been treated, I have to say that I really look forward to welcoming you home. My farewell to the Episcopal Church was nearly thirty years ago, and as it was happening, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to leave. Now, on this side of the Tiber, I can testify that it's wonderful. No more pointless arguments (which were always designed for us to lose anyway!), and now I can just get on with the business of preaching the Gospel and ministering the Sacraments.<br /><br />You're very much in my prayers.Fr.
