Rod Dreher attended one of ACNA’s diocesan synods, and wrote this article calling bishop Julian Dobbs “the based bishop” https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/anglican-julian-dobbs-the-based-bishop/ This was one of the photos from the synod, the bishop exhorts us to “Act like men” in this anti-life culture https://twitter.com/ivmiles/status/1522582245881622529 Video of his address: https://twitter.com/lambeth981/status/1522632855578361860 Bishop Dobbs’s wife is famous; having been a woman priest while in the Episcopal Church, once she entered the ACNA she threw off her collar and assumed the lay state Here, his Grace is preparing to wash the feet of the priests about to be ordained https://twitter.com/lambeth981/status/1522960495325888518 Bishop Dobbs has empowered his priests to boldly proclaim Christian values, such the “based priest” Fr Kennedy (whose church building was once seized by the Episcopal Church, and sold off to be turned into a mosque) https://twitter.com/lambeth981/status/1519249057511882752 https://twitter.com/lambeth981/status/1521797973725884417 It seems that the Anglican twitter quite encouraged by this event: https://twitter.com/astratelates/status/1523018313743228928
Pretty typical for Dreher. By focusing on and participating in the culture war, and making TEC the whipping boy for whatever they think is wrong with the world, both he and the good bishop appear to overlook that the key issue for a Christian regarding human sexuality is chastity, not identity or orientation. (The word “chastity” occurs nowhere in his address.)
I agree that Chasity is a huge subject but I don't think it is bigger than the redefinition of man and marriage
I think that’s fair, and I agree that the ecclesiastical definition of marriage should not be changed to match the current secular definition, but the bishop, unless I overlooked something, didn’t specifically mention that. His only reference to marriage is “the breakdown of the discipline of marriage”. It seemed strange to me for him to have addressed the items he did without the traditional concept of chastity playing a prominent role, that’s all I’m saying. Virtually no one seems to want to talk about that anymore, so this isn’t directed solely at him.
Yeah and he mentioned it, or the Bishop Aziz did about the break down of marriage in priests and bishops. I am not 100% what he means there but I am guessing divorce. I think a good sermon or two on Chasity per year is something that should be done.
