From here:

The Anglican Church of Canada needs more clarity around what the “relational consequences” would be for not adopting the proposed Anglican Communion Covenant.

The solution is obvious: just like the moratorium on same-sex blessings, agree to it on paper and ignore it in practise.

Although a comprehensive study guide on the covenant was prepared and recommended for Canadian Anglicans, “there’s not much interest in discussing it,” reported members of one CoGS discussion group. “We’re not sure why,” they added.

Obviously CoGS needs to get in touch with its feelings. Or perhaps the problem is that many ACoC priests are too in touch with their feelings and are fiercely opposed to something that threatens to curtail their expeditions into the increasingly familiar territory of homoeroticism.

The real reason comes at the end of the article: the church wants to engage in a little prophetic social justice making by waiting to see what TEC does.

The Episcopal Church in the U.S. will consider the covenant at its General Convention this July. The Anglican Church of Canada will decide whether to adopt or reject it at General Synod 2013.
