Various state courts seem to have found problems with the Dennis Canon; and given the California courts record on property ownership, I suspect there is a good chance that San Joachin will depart with a lot of property that TEC will have no use for or ability to support. Ditto for Fort Worth!
As an old Anglo-Catholic, I guess the factor that bothers me most about TEC (I've been a member of a Continuing jurisdiction for many years) is the apparent desire of the Church's leadership not only to run Anglo-Catholics out of TEC (frankly, I'm not sure why any A-C would want to remain in that hostile environent), but to grab property and endowments given many years ago and that were clearly intended to support Anglo-Catholicism/Anglo-Catholic parishes, etc. The flap over property and endowments really casts an ugly image of TEC.
Now that entire dioceses are realigning with jurisdictions outside of the U.S., TEC's fight with to hold on to "things" is likely to get a great deal more expensive that fights over the departure of a parish here and a parish there.
Perhaps your General Convention will come to its senses and tell the old Anglo-Catholic dioceses and parishes to depart in peace.
Are you riding you motorcycle much these days? I've been thinking about buying another one (after many years), but I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions?
