Speaking of Real Conservatives...

From the Living Church:

The Bishop of Texas, the Rt. Rev. Don A. Wimberly, is interested in assembling all members of the House of Bishops who are willing to stand firmly with the recommendations of the Windsor Report. In a letter dated July 28, Bishop Wimberly announced a consultation to be held Sept. 19-22 at Camp Allen near Navasota, Texas.

“It is my hope that you will be able to accept this invitation and enter with fellow bishops into a consultation that can produce a way forward that both prevents some in our Church from ‘walking apart’, and others from seeking irregular means of preserving their Anglican identity,” Bishop Wimberly wrote. “I want to emphasize that this invitation is to a consultation rather than a conference”...

Do I disagree with just about all of their discussion points? Most definately. Do I respect their right to hold a different perspective on this matter? Absolutely. If their goal is as stated above, to "produce a way forward that both prevents some in our Church from ‘walking apart’, and others from seeking irregular means of preserving their Anglican identity," then I applaud Bp. Wimberly for calling for this consultation. It is past time to hear from some sane conservative leaders.

A tip of the biretta to Widening for this one.
