That's Not My Church!
Whoa.
If I read this correctly, Binks over at the WebElf Report, long a clearing house for Anglican Communion Implosion Nooz, has decided to give up the fight:
The Anglican Church, as a revolutionary thought-experiment, has failed the test of time. Don’t crawl out onto twigs and debris bearing the familiar logos and comfortable fit, nor take on Anglo-Baptist religion from Africa or Australia or wherever: head back down the trunk of the tree and find the true roots.This WebElf has been honoured: I’ve fought for and beside so many of you down the years: as I’ve said before, this site will no longer be a combing of the ruins of Anglican protestantism, except in the occasional news item. Christianity is Not Us, and (officially at least) We’re Not Christianity.
The proverbial fat lady has sung: it’s over. Would the last one out please get the lights?
Binks
He uses a metaphor about climbing back down the trunk and finding the roots, but it would seem as if swimming for the Rock would be equally a propos. If so, c'mon in, Binks, the water's great!
Posted by Robert at November 19, 2007 11:54 AM | TrackBackIf you are reading this right, it is big news. Binky has been doing much of the heavy lifting as far as news gathering for a long time. His view is one of the most informed ones out there.
Posted by: Mrs. Peperium at November 19, 2007 12:43 PMYes, Mrs. P., indeed he has, and indeed he is.
Binky was, for years, my publisher/editor, when I was writing about what was happening, mainly because nobody else was! Since I know who he actually is, I know the price he's paid, and the grief he's been subject to.
I've returned safely home; and Binks deserves all of our prayers that he, too, finds a haven and rest.
