Bets that the PBess will circumvent the rules and sneak Thew into the HOB?

Don’t see New Hampshire listed …

Cheers

Can’t see it happening, Steve. Considering the number of bishops who have voted against, the Peeb would have to be pretty creative. Much as she might like the guy, I don’t think she’s got it in her to overrule the entire HOB.

I don’t know, CJ. Doesn’t it constitute “abandonment of communion” to go against her wishes?

If she wants to make the Communion Partners case for them, sure. But I think she’s smart enough to realize that Gennie’s just one guy. And the next NM nominee will be probably be just as out there as Gennie was but hopefully without an explicit connection to a non-Christian religion this time.

Ah – but will ‘Genpo’ be deposed as was Holmes-Redding?

Maybe it’s happened recently, but I don’t see the Bp. of Colorado listed. As he is the PBess’ lap dog, I wounder how he’ll vote. Finger in the wind, “Oh, it’s a majority NO – Well, me too.” Or, “Yes, Mistress. A YES it is.”

J.M., weirdly, I have no idea how Gene will vote. I would have said “Of course he’ll vote ‘Yes’!” but oddly enough, the guy (apart from his rock-solid convicton that the Bible is all about gay liberation) has a Christology that at least has a nodding acquaintance with orthodox belief (by which I mean, he seems to accept the divinity of Christ and though he’s famously talked about his difficulties with the Creed, hasn’t produced any variant liturgies himself), so I would not bet that he wouldn’t vote “No”.

That’s one result I’m very interested in seeing, I have to admit.

Fuinseoig,

Keeping in mind that my Anglican prediction record has been abysmal, I would actually be very surprised if Robinson voted to approve. He constantly pictures himself as just a run-of-the-mill evangelical Christian who happens to be gay so a No vote should be the easiest thing in the world for him. His evangelical street cred goes up and the guy who follows Forrester is going to be pretty much as leftist as Forrester is anyway so it’s a win/win. On the other hand, a vote to approve Forrester would blow any of Robinson’s evangelical Christian pretensions out of the water once and for all.

See you back here Sunday.

Christopher, I’ll be ready

F? Just make sure your Glock is loaded.
