Our Communion is not the ‘final arbiter’
From Canon Simon Killwick Sir, — Your report of my speech on the draft Anglican Covenant does not really make sense, as it stands (Synod, 22 February). May I please, through your columns, clarify what I said: “We desperately want to see unity and coherence in the Anglican Communion. We cannot afford the luxury of every province doing what it thinks right in its own eyes.” The “horror” I found in the response to the draft was the description of those who found themselves ruled outside the covenant as having “erred” and needing to be “brought to repentance”. As I said, “they may not have erred, but just taken a different view under God, and one which may be shared by other Christian bodies. We cannot set up the Anglican Communion as the final arbiter in faith and morals.” SIMON KILLWICK Christ Church RectoryMonton Street Manchester M14 4GP |
