After two high profile appointments of lady clerics from England which went wrong (and their subsequent resignations because they couldn’t work with His Darkness) and then the failure to appoint a lady bishop after spending years championing the cause, WATCH have distanced themselves from His Darkness. He and his church are no longer regarded as progressive liberals but instead are seen as a toxic brand.Sid Stanleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-72705805226649132492015-01-29T03:05:08.556+00:002015-01-29T03:05:08.556+00:00My sympathies to my friends in the CofE.

His uncompromising approach to Traditionalist Anglicans in his own province, his dodgy discretionary funds, the failure to condemn the Charlie Hebdo killings and his fascination for same-sex marriages in church have all conspired to make His Darkness and his acolytes a thoroughly toxic brand. +Canterbury and +York have shown the way forward with their charitable attempts at reconciliation and respect. His Darkness’ failing regime in Wales is not compatible with modern, forward thinking, progressive, liberal, Anglicanism in the UK. What a shame for those spineless bishops on the Bench who supported His Darkness – there is no chance that they will be translated into the new tolerant Cof E. Poor old +St Asaph, you had your chance to rein in His Darkness over the Code of Practice, but you failed and now you’ll spend the rest of your ministry in the wilderness.1549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-42941888639136013862015-01-28T20:59:24.582+00:002015-01-28T20:59:24.582+00:00The Archbishop of York's website has a gallery...The Archbishop of York's website has a gallery of photos.

The current prequisite for being appointed as a regligious affairs correspondant appears to be theologically illiteracy coupled with illiberal-liberal bigotry. As you may have noticed the Bingham article on 'what will they argue about next?' was published in the Womens section of the DT, which is as telling a statement as the BBC reporting the consecration in Politics.<br /><br />Presumably the next step for the British press will be to publish any stories relating to women bishops and priests under a generic 'Gender Studies' section.

There was no ...We should not despair completely. There was no 'in your face' celebrations by the pro-women lobby (apparently they were under strict orders not to by ++York). The consecrand was not one of the conspicuous personalities who has been hogging the airwaves and dominating the betting at Joe Corral's for the past decade; but someone who has been quietly getting on with the job in a small and unremarkable parish without drawing attention to herself. And, most importantly, there was no sign of Byzantine Barry - anywhere! More to the point when the bishops reconvene at York next Monday, the Archbishop will be modelling gracious restraint by handing over to the Bishop of Chichester (and two other traditionalist bishops) and allowing Fr Philip North to be ordained and consecrated by bishops who share his theological conviction. Does that strike you as being in any way different to what might happen when the Circus comes to Llandaff Cathedral?Llandaff Pelicannoreply@blogger.com
