Ecclesiastical bibs and bobs

• Conservative Episcopalians, ACNA as the Elizabethan Settlement redux and Metropolitan Jonah. Dr Tighe notes: to do any of the things that Metropolitan Jonah requires would bust up ACNA faster than I could say “Cranmer’s Ghost” or “King Charles’s Head.”
• Are orthodox Christians a ‘purity cult’, mainline jargon for those not on board with approving same-sex sex? ++Rowan Cantuar: We welcome people into the Church, we say: ‘You can come in, and that decision will change you.’ We don't say: 'Come in and we ask no questions.’ I do believe conversion means conversion of habits, behaviours, ideas, emotions. The boundaries are determined by what it means to be loyal to Jesus Christ. That means to display in all things the mind of Christ.
