I do not generally read VirtueOnline because of its blatantly Anglo-Catholic bias. However, I was amused by this piece that David Virtue posted attacking George Conger's articles on the current situation with the Anglican Mission in America and the Rwandan house of bishops. Ironically, George Conger is an "orthodox" and "conservative" Anglo-Catholic who chose to remain within The Episcopal Church and work for reform. As most readers of my blog know, I do not consider Anglo-Catholics to be truly converted to the Christian faith. That would include "orthodox" Anglo-Catholics. I was banned from posting comments at VirtueOnline for stating my position in a polemical manner. Polemics seems to be the only way that these papist ecumenicalists get the message. (Jude 1:3-4)
Robin Jordan of the Anglicans Ablaze blog attended, Moving Forward Together, the recent meeting between the Rwanda bishops, conservative AMiA congregational leaders, and the archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, Robert Duncan, who is also an avowed Anglo-Catholic. Robin hoped to persuade the more Evangelical and Reformed members of the AMiA to consider joining together in a new Reformed and Evangelical association of Anglicans. Whether or not that happens is unclear, although Robin said that the Reformed leaning Anglicans he spoke with at the conference were not convinced that there is no place for them in the Anglican Church in North America. The naivete of Evangelicals is truly astounding. They do not seem to realize that the borg mentality of Anglo-Papists is that they are welcome so long as they keep the Gospel under wraps and go along with the false gospel of the Anglo-Papists. That is assuming, of course, that these Evangelical Anglicans actually do understand the Gospel. The irony here is that Duncan was there to persuade the AMiA to go with the ACNA, while Archbishop Rwaje of the Anglican Church in Rwanda was there to try to bring about reconciliation between the AMiA and the Rwandan house of bishops.
I am unsure of exactly how Reformed and Evangelical the Rwanda Anglicans are. However, it would appear that they are not nearly as high church as the ACNA. Robin Jordan has been blogging for some time now about how Anglo-Catholic the doctrine and canons of the ACNA are. Most recently his critique of the new prayer book to be produced by the ACNA has been most insightful: ACNA: Theological Guiding Lens
David Virtue seems to think that Chuck Murphy and John Rodgers of the AMiA will be able work out a deal where the AMiA can join with the ACNA by this June. The more the merrier I suppose.

Addendum: Robin Jordan corrected my comment above. He said that it was never his intention to proselytize anyone but rather was there to report on the situation and see what kinds of responses he would get from the more Evangelical side of the aisle.
