Letter to the editor: Sheep stealing

Notes: "I'm weary of Anglican liberals calling me a fundamentalist for agreeing with the global Anglican church's position against homosexual practices. I am told that I am not a real Anglican, so I guess when folks like me form new parishes with supposed false Southern Cone bishops, there is no basis for liberal Anglicans to whine about sheep stealing. I think the contradiction is explained by the fact that conservative Anglicans give much more than liberals. The liberal angst against sheep stealing can be seen as little more than trying to keep a spiritually bankrupt communion from becoming a financially bankrupt institution. Liberals want to condemn us as false Anglicans without the consequences of us forming a new communion. The only solution to this situation is for moderate bishops to show some courage and rein in the liberals. If this does not happen then a split and eventual dissolution of liberal Anglican churches into ecclesiological irrelevance is inevitable. We conservatives can remain global with the rest of the global Anglican communion, and you liberals can eventually start merging with the dying United Church of Canada". [Text of entire article.]
