Covenant, Contract, and Communion: Reflections on a Post-Windsor Anglicanism
Anglican Theological Review, Fall 2005 by Lewis, Harold T
What our dean warned about at the parish level now seems to be working itself out at the diocesan and even global levels. It would appear that those who are threatened by the winds of change, by the spirit that blows "where it listeth," by that Spirit who would lead us into all truth, are seeking refuge in canonical and legal maneuvers to ensure that their agenda is advanced. We trust that before it is too late, we might restore a sense of covenant to our common life, so that we rescue the church from a course of action which has placed her on a very slippery slope.
