Thus, the Canon to the Ordinary is the canon to the Bishop. In Anglicanism I suppose Metropolitans have been replaced by Archbishops and Primates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-250975928549881992011-02-05T11:33:12.804-05:002011-02-05T11:33:12.804-05:00Ordinary=diocesan bishop

I should know because I am a grumbler myself.<br /><br />Bishop Waldo in calling for a "Theological Council" to discuss sexuality planned for April of 2011 is asking for us to be guided by the Rule of Benedict when he writes:<br /><br />"Our first priority will be to ensure a safe, secure, and open environment that will keep us mindful of our unity in Christ Jesus. The introduction to the proposed Anglican Covenant, as well as The Rule of St. Benedict, provides helpful scriptural guidance for being together in this way. We will ground our dialogue in a rhythm of prayer and worship, flowing from meals, to worship, to spoken meditation, to reflection, to small group discussion, and then to plenary discussion."<br /><br />Uh, er, Bishop, I think you missed a thing or two in the Rule...<br /><br />Benedict warns about grumblers <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=F4sQ1YZ5kQIC&pg=PA35&lpg=PA35&dq=the+rule+of+benedict+and+grumblers&source=bl&ots=VnxjrKenNr&sig=TH4DQWUEQ2s-GDBpbSizWuU8paw&hl=en&ei=97dKTdOZOtPngQfIn5H-Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the%20rule%20of%20benedict%20and%20grumblers&f=false" rel="nofollow">("not less than twelve times")</a><br /><br />It is neglectful of the Rule to use our good money to bring in a grumbler, especially in a time of declining church budgets.<br /><br />I will, of course, be happy to continue to serve as volunteer grumbler for as long as the Bishop sees fit to continue to support grumbling.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-15086867761180785012011-02-02T10:18:17.053-05:002011-02-02T10:18:17.053-05:00This is what happens when you trade a beautiful pr...This is what happens when you trade a beautiful prayer book for one which has people jumping around waving their hands and hugging each other in the middle of the service.
