Posted Comments on GC2009 to Ruth Gledhill's Blog

Ruth Gledhill of the London Times is covering GC 2009 in absentia, since the Church of England General Synod is also going on concurrently at York. Her surrogate put up the following report here:

This is the followup comment I posted to that site:

The Presiding Bishop was nothing but massively insensitive, and perhaps deliberately antagonistic to evangelicals and to protestants from other denominations with that crack about "western heresy". Shje seems not at all to care about the soteriological mission of the church; for her, the social gospel is the only gospel there is. While the reports coming out of Anaheim are dismaying to many of us, I do find that these meetings are occasions to reiterate our faith in God's mighty purpose, and to remember that the triumph of the Church over sin and despair is not conditioned by individual or even mass group apostasy - even that of a Presiding Bishop and her flock.
