As I write this letter to you it is Wednesday in Holy Week. I am travelling to Juba in South Sudan to spend the Great Three Days (The Sacred Triduum) with Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul, his clergy and his people. I am to be away from all the things that are familiar, except that the Church is one throughout the world, and the old, old story does not change (yet changes everything).

Bravo!  The Anglican Communion needs a strong voice and a strong leader to turn us back to Jesus Christ and the faith once delivered to the saints.  It is precisely this faith that has been undermined and challenged by the unilateral actions of North American leaders from The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the Anglican Church of Canada (ACoC) by, among other things, consecrating actively practicing homosexual and lesbian bishops and authorizing same-sex blessings - contrary to the Bible, apostolic and catholic teaching, and the teaching of the Anglican Communion on human sexuality, marriage and holy orders (Lambeth Resolution 1.10 1998).

First was the ordination of a non-celibate lesbian in the former home of the Falls Church  Anglican parish this past December. This was a problem of both menu and venue, of what  and where it was done. This kind of ordination, which violates scriptural teaching, caused  the Anglican schism in the first place. I believe that holding the service at the Falls Church  shortly after they lost their building showed a disregard and lack of respect for the good and  godly pastor and the people of the Falls Church. This was a failure to treat others in a way  that honors the imago dei in each of us. It was extremely painful to learn of this action and  my full sympathy is with John Yates+ and his congregation.
