Bishop Iker of Fort Worth on the ‘Network’

Bishop Iker has made a recent statement on the Anglican Communion Network dioceses and their GenCon2006 plan(s) for this summer:

While there are continuing efforts among the bishops of the Network dioceses to work together and to choose a common path for the future, it must be said that we are not all on the same page. Our dioceses are not the same. They differ in a variety of ways. Even with our common commitment to “upholding and propagating the historic Faith and Order” of the catholic church, we are not of one mind in terms of tactics and strategies. As much as we might hope and pray for a consensus among us as to the best way forward, unanimity is not likely at this point in time – or so it seems.

I am so grateful that Bishop Iker has said something. I am also glad that he is letting us know that “unanimity is not likely at this point in time.” It looks like the Network may indeed be the Notwork.
