Teaching that St. Peter was wrong when he said, "God shows no partiality" is outside the limits. Teaching that a particular theological theory (badly re-hashed Calvinism in the case of Nigeria/CANA) is divinely inspired is outside the limits. The usurpation of freedom, even if we call it a covenant is outside the limits. <BR/><BR/>What did you have in mind? <BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-19936623748005919492007-10-25T08:55:00.000-04:002007-10-25T08:55:00.000-04:00Of course, Hiram.

By its definition, it is limiting.<BR/><BR/>There has always been a spirit of 'gracious Anglican accommodation' which has become quite ungracious in the past decade as the Evangelical fervor has infected our church and thrown it off balance.<BR/><BR/>We are working out the answer to your question even now. This is what the schism is all about. This is what "Akinola and his Alphabet Soup" gang are saying.<BR/><BR/>Except, of course, they are making the preposterous claim that Canterbury no longer defines Anglican religious thought.<BR/><BR/>I think what they mean to say is that Canterbury no longer defines THEM as Christians.<BR/><BR/>Which is fine.
