@MBurtwrites@The_ACNA@RECACNA I'm happy to denounce it, but I also think if you don't feed the troll under the bridge he'll just die. These anons thrive on engagement bait.
Salon's interview with Nick Cave:
"When I asked Cave if he had any interest in other religions, or in a broader, non-religious spirituality, he replied, 'Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I’m a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.' "
Me too, Nick.
Dale doesn’t need to join the ACNA to be Anglican, but he will need to find a valid bishop to ordain him before he is an Anglican. That’s not my opinion: every Anglican ever has said that. Anglicanism without episcopacy is Presbyterianism with bishops.

I’m likely going to get blocked by Partridge, which is fine. I honestly do not care enough about the silly EthnoBro nonsense to argue about it, but I DO care about Anglicanism, and I am not willing to let Dale claim my tradition. 1/2
@dalepartridge It’s fine to be independent, but you cannot be an Anglican without having bishops. It is essential to the nature of Anglicanism to have bishops. It’s like saying “we’re Alcoholics Anonymous, but everyone knows who we are and when we meet.” It is a contradiction.
@dalepartridge@DanielRHyde@DerekSteward3 As a Reformed Anglican, you are not Anglican if you do not have a bishop. You don’t need a bishop to be a Christian, but you need one to be an Anglican. You can’t meaningfully use the 1662 BCP without a bishop.

This is a fascinating example of someone who looks into Anglicanism and sees their own reflection. Nothing to challenge them, nothing to submit to; only their own brilliant ideas reflected back to their loving gaze.
1. “Anglicanism has bishops” (doesn’t tell us which body he submits to)
2. “I’m a Formulary Anglican” (creates his own Formulary to hedge the Articles)
3. “Anglicanism is English Reformed Catholicism” (wait till he learns where Anglicanism is thriving today)
