This shouldn’t come as a complete surprise, since most of his other reasoning faculties abandoned him, too, when he converted to liberalism. In this predictably tendentious article about the Canterbury Primates’ gathering, he calls ACNA “a small group of Anglicans”.
ACNA presently has over 100,000 members and an average Sunday attendance of over 80,000, numbers that approach, if not exceed (who knows, the ACoC is too shy to publish statistics) those of the entire Anglican Church of Canada – to which Coren has just joined himself.
Up to now small groups of Anglicans, including a fringe in Canada, have left the communion over more progressive positions around sexuality, and while there has never been a central authority or leadership resembling that of Roman Catholicism, there is now a severe risk of a formal break between the Western churches and many of those in the developing world. What has traditionally been a loose but warm collective could become an absolute separation.
The “fringe in Canada” would be ANiC, the Christian version of Canadian Anglicanism.
I cannot imagine anyone with any degree of intelligence caring one whit what Michael Corn hole. …oops Coren thinks. I am sure he will fit comfortably at Wycliffe where he can re learn what it means to pontificate and gas on. After all he got taught from among the best during his stay in Rome.
Just as an aside, as somebody who knows quite a bit about wearing clerical robes in a sanctuary with a lot of people in it, and who also knows what it’s like to wear a Kevlar vest, I don’t believe Robinson’s tale of victimhood. He does, though, spout good propaganda, a/k/a snake oil.
