As the Anglican World Churns: This Just In

In my Inbox from the Steering Committee of North Texas Episcopalians:
"We have received a copy of a presentation, made by four senior priests in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth to Roman Catholic Bishop Kevin Vann of Fort Worth, in which they seek guidance in making a proposal "that would lead our Diocese into full communion with the See of Peter." They state in their presentation that "Bishop Iker endorsed our report and gave us his 'unequivocal support' to proceed with a presentation to Bishop Vann." The full text of this presentation may be read by going to the Steering Committee website: SteeringCommitteeNTE.org."
Hmmm, and for a while this rumor was discounted as unlikely.

Getting closer to Peter

I laughed when I read them referring to Rome as, "the See of Peter". I mean it sounds funny to start with, but then you realize they're all upset over what men do with their peters and then its ironic.
