John Burwell reports from the epochal meeting in Dallas, A Place to Stand, organized by the American Anglican Council:



46 Bishops in this room

There are 46 deacons in this room

There are 799 Priests

There are 1,413 lay persons in the room

There are 103 seminary students

2,674 people from 600 parishes and missions in every single diocese.



.....



We sang "Shout to the Lord," "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus," and "Come thou Font." We heard Scripture, proclaimed our faith with the Apostles Creed and had a time of opening prayer.



Commentary and reflections also from, among others, Rev. Canon Dr. Kendall Harmon, Will Sulik, Midwest Conservative Journal, Ben Domenech. And an article considering ecumenical implications, and quoting the words of Pope John Paul II to the Archbishop of Canterbury: New and serious difficulties have arisen.



Dr. Harmon's site is named for a touchstone and clarion passage of Scripture, Titus 1:9, on the character and quality demanded of a bishop.



Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to encourage others by right teaching and to confute those who contradict it.



Joined with our Anglican brethren.
