My intention behind this series (which I plan to continue through the whole conciliar period)is to underscore the "gray" as you put it. <BR/><BR/>Understanding that retrospection is often done by Romantics for idealistic ends is half the battle in our present struggles. With Lambeth Conference coming up (I'm an Anglican remember), and with all of the pre-Lambeth posturing going on, I think it is critical that we immerse ourselves in historical perspective.<BR/><BR/>Ephraim Radner (from ACI) wrote an article fairly recently on Lambeth and Nicaea, which should be required reading for all Anglicans prepared to boycott the upcoming Lambeth. To boycott Lambeth, IMO, would amount to writing off the entire Communion.Dan Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610718122774026303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25190947.post-3987299291317128832007-07-17T10:00:00.000-05:002007-07-17T10:00:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting these.

We treat historical events as simple events with no depth or complexity. Things were messy and it is not until much later that we often are able to look back and see an event clearly. At least as cleary as we are able.Bobby J. Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13344008345995189063noreply@blogger.com
