Letter to the editor: Wish it were so

Notes: "At General Synod 2010 last June, the Primate said, 'We're no longer demonizing one another .. We're regarding one another more patiently, more graciously'. I wish it were so. Anglicanism has historically accepted a wide spectrum of views, something that has gone by the wayside in recent years. Why should one side wish to put whole congregations onto the street, when both sides worship the same heavenly Father. Let us act according to the headline 'Embracing our differences' (June 2010, p. 1) rather than paying slavish duty to Canon Law in order to victimize fellow Anglicans. At the time of the Reformation, one side hid behind such laws and we know what Luther's response was: 'If I had the fire, I would burn every book of Canon Law !'" [Text of entire article.]
