All the Anglican Obsessed...

...Like the Doc himself who want to get an update on the strange creakings and convulsions in the jury-rigged apparatus called the Anglican Communion should hustle on over to GetReligion and check out this post by Terry Mattingly.

OK, OK, I'll tell you how it starts:

Anglican-beat reporters, please repeat after me once again: The Africans pray, the Americans pay and the British write the resolutions.

And the second truth of Anglican corporate life is like unto this: The British will do their bloody best to write those resolutions in such a way that Americans get to keep writing checks.

Thus, to the surprise of no one, MSM reports about this week's Anglican primates meetings are all over the map. No one can agree on who actually said what and if the words they said actually mean what they appear to mean. Ah, those British resolution writers are the best.


This is all very true, sadly. It's the insidious advantage of an Oxford education.

You'll have to scroll down to find the post, but I planned it that way. Because all of GetReligion is very good stuff, and it's a blog well worth knowing. Even the Doc and Bunnie Diehl can find stuff to satisfy their interests, like the views of Cardinal Arinze, or news that the man accused of being the BTK murderer in Wichita is a Lutheran...
