ACN Encourages Support for Priests’ Petition

The Anglican Communion Network encourages all Episcopal priests to sign an online petition that will be delivered to the presiding bishop and each member of the House of Bishops before General Convention 2006. The petition urges the Episcopal leadership “to refrain from approving any further consecrations of same sex partnered bishops; to stop all actions that allow or promote the blessing of same sex unions of any kind; to fully endorse the Windsor Report as the roadmap for maintaining full communion with the worldwide Anglican Church; and, to turn the attention of the church to the mission of reaching the lost for the sake of the Gospel.”

“I applaud Father David Roseberry, a priest of the Network Diocese of Dallas, for this grassroots initiative to activate the voice of orthodox Episcopal priests,” said the Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan, Moderator of the Network. “This petition simply, but emphatically, states that those that sign it are in agreement with the millions of Anglicans worldwide who have asked us to do the very things stated in this petition to remain in fellowship with them. I urge every Episcopal priest to sign his or her name to this petition and to encourage their fellow priests to do the same.
