Anglican Spectrum
Gary, we will keep alert eyes on the press, and for our o/seas friends here, try to give links to any interesting news stories from the Anglican synod. As an outsider, I am nevertheless quite impressed with the Anglicans - not that I agree with much of the formal stuff, altho probably a lot of it is harmless. But as far as a natural organisation goes, for someone like me who believes that the real church (or body of Christ, collection of true believers) is "invisible", then the very visible organisation called the Anglicans is quite a good natural place (seems to me!) to nurture and encourage the spiritual livelihood of its' members.
And I think that's about all any natural church is good for - providing a positive, nurturing environment where worship, fellowship, sound doctrine and the gospel message can blossom. And the Anglicans allow a very wide spectrum of people and beliefs to exist, all rubbing shoulders and undoubtedly many true believers amongst them.
I particularly appreciate the sound teaching that comes out of Moore College, Sydney. Should be an interesting week! And Gary, with your last comment, you'd better get down to David's "church outside the box" in W. Heidelberg next Tuesday evening. See you there??
