"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

The leak in the balloon
Don't miss Susan Russell's essay, "So What?" over at her blog "An Inch at A Time" wherein she begins:
"The hot air balloon with the "Anglican Covenant or Bust" sign across it has sprung a slow leak. The urgent voices insisting we must all climb aboard "or else" have dwindled to a marginal few. And the rest of the Anglican Communion seems to paying attention as never before to just exactly what it is that makes us the “Anglican” Communion."
You can find the rest of her analysis, filled with her usual sharp-wit, along with some links to audio recordings of the various presentations at the General Theological Seminary website.
Well done, my sister. Well done.

Hal-Le-Lu-Ya! It's like there there was world-wide temporary insanity with all that covenant nonsense.
