Getting Closer? Doubtful!

.
Some Anglicans are getting concerned about the Church’s attitude to gay or women bishops and the blessing of same-sex unions. At the same time the Catholic Church is considering allowing Anglicans to convert, which would allow them to enter full communion with them but preserving some elements of Anglican traditions.

The ‘smells and bells’ section of the Anglican Church are usually drawn to Catholicism while the ‘happy-clappy’ section may look to the Evangelicals. Could a schism be in sight I wonder?

Archbishop Williams has discussed the issue with Pope Benedict. It would have been an interesting discussion but I doubt we will hear much about what was really said.

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall that day!
