   Anglicans are truly weird.

   And to confirm Michael’s last comment:

   
   Churches back plan to unite under Pope

   What a pleasant way to wake up! Beats CBC radio news.

   Short story: Ruth Gledhill (for everybody else – the religion reporter at the Times, who has a lot to say about international Anglican politics, from a very tendentious, agenda-driven POV) is not a reporter that anybody should be paying attention to. She covered the Episcopalian conference in Columbus from – London. She covered the primates meeting in Tanzania from – London. I don’t think she ever leaves London. Her story is preposterous from any number of points of view, most of which are dissected on a thread on Ship of Fools at the moment.

   I looked at SOF when this came out and that was the impression I got, but I think I got there too early in the thread to entirely see what was going on.

   Well, however “preposterous” her story, and unreliable her reporting, there does seem to be both a group of, yes, senior bishops of both churches looking at this and a report coming out — as you no doubt know:

   Though I think the operative sentence in that story has to be:

   “Bathersby said the discussion on reuniting the churches under a universal primate, the Pope, has been going on for 35 years.”

   And it will go on and on and on. The issues are not resolvable, given the current tendencies of the RC leadership and the direction the Anglican Church is taking at least in the first world. It will be interesting to see if Third World Anglicanism is at all tempted by Rome. Of course there has always been a trickle toward Rome from conservative Anglicans in the first world too. I don’t know whether either of those constituencies like the idea of joining Rome en masse though.

   Agreed. I’d be surprised if there was a great deal of enthusiasm for this idea in the Catholic church, even if all Anglicans lined up behind it…

    Agreed… apart from current issues or direction the communion thing is a substantial hurdle — good luck to those brave souls trying to work on that.

    I’m sure the Catholic Church would be happy to see Anglicans come into the fold, but I don’t think there’s any interest in the kind of reforms that would make most (first-world) Anglicans comfortable there. In any event, I think there is a case for a degree of institutional diversity within Christianity; it’s not necessarily a bad thing to have different denominations pulling in different directions especially now that we have gotten out of the business of persecuting each other.
