Tac Responds To Bishop Florenza

"The following statement was carried on THE MESSENGER, the newspaper of the TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN COMMUNION:"

THE Primate of the TAC welcomes the overtures recently made by one of the dioceses of the ANGLICAN PROVINCE OF CHRIST THE KING, as a further deepening of the unity of the Continuum in the United States. This is not a sudden process, but one that has come from a deepening of prayer, friendship and conversations across the old divisions of the US Continuum.

Unity always comes at a price. Jesus prayed unconditionally for the unity of His followers on the night before He died, and the price was paid the next day on the Cross.

Coming at the close of the truly extraordinary and heroic ministry of ARCHBISHOP MORSE, the timing of this announcement is both poignant and prophetic. Poignant, because he is the last of the first four bishops of the Continuum who chose to walk apart from one another to leave Episcopal office. Prophetic, because his successors are now making the moves, sacrificial of their own interests, that are now uniting this generation of those who stand apart from the Anglican churches that still abandon Gospel Truth and Catholic order.

May Archbishop Morse be richly blessed in this life and the next for his witness, and may the movement that he helped to found deepen its obedience to the Son of God who prayed for unity, and died.
