Spot the Anglican Irony - THE OTHER CHEEK
Ridley Melbourne’s Michael Bird asks in the wake of the Gafcon announcement of the Global Anglican Communion – a reset of the links between national Anglican churches.
“Because, according to GAFCON, you cannot be Anglican and be in communion with the See of Canterbury.
However, as part of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, which is part of the Anglican Province of Australia, Michael Bird is in communion with the See of Canterbury.
“Am I still Anglican? ... I’m part of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, which is part of the Anglican Province of Australia, which is in communion with the See of Canterbury. So, based on the GAFCON re-definition or re-ordering of Anglicanism, no, I am not Anglican.”
Despite GAFCON's re-definition, Michael Bird can still be considered Anglican, as one can be Anglican without a direct link to the mother Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Author's summary: Michael Bird questions his Anglican identity after GAFCON's announcement.
