About the Name

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent The-oph’ilus, that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. -- Luke 1:1-4

Relax, I know I’m not writing the New Testament here, but I will try to follow a few things closely. — Dick Sandlin

California Church Seeks 3rd Way

The Blessed Sacrament Church in Placentia, California has suggested a third way to deal with the growing crisis in The Episcopal Church (TEC).  The Rector, Father David Baumann, in his blog John One Five, has proposed the following:

...our Vestry met twice with Bishop Bruno, who offered us another bishop to serve as our pastor under the provision for Delegated Episcopal Pastoral Oversight (DEPO). We accepted that offer, and the Bishop of Northern Indiana, Ed Little, began to serve us in that capacity about a year ago.

...three courses were open to us: to remain in the Episcopal Church, to align with the emerging Anglican Church in North America, or to seek some sort of arrangement with the Roman Catholic Church…. On the one hand, it was quite evident that no one of these three options appealed to the entire parish. On the other hand it was also quite evident that nearly all the people were determined to retain the unity of the parish family—that is, most wanted to remain at Blessed Sacrament. We had come to an impasse.

In December of 2008 I suggested to the parish in a sermon that we adopt a plan in which all three options could be followed to the benefit of all….

...most of our people will remain in the Episcopal Church under the DEPO arrangement. A significant number of others will remove themselves from the Episcopal Church and align with the emerging Anglican Church of North America but continue to connect—as Anglicans—with Blessed Sacrament. .... A few people…will enter the Roman Catholic Church ... and receive sacramental ministrations there while also retaining their participation at Blessed Sacrament. ... All ministries will continue and be done jointly/ecumenically.

My apologies to Fr. Baumann for removing parts of his text.  You can see it all in his blog.  Will this work as a way to “have your cake and eat it, too”?
