Fr. Tim on "Boundary Crossings"

From this thread over at Stand Firm:

Perhaps the Primates can announce the following:
“We will exercise restraint in making travel plans which might be experienced with discomfort in some parts of the Communion. However, the Communion must understand that
1. Scholars show that boundary crossings have taken place so they must have been an ancient tradition of freedom in Christ until suppressed by some malevolent church conspiracy or other;
2. Even if boundary crossings had not happened in the past, we are experiencing a new thing of the Spirit and need room to live into this in our various missional contextualizations of praxis and experience;
3. Our baptismal covenant entitles us to exercise ministry with anybody, any place at any time;
4. New social scientific discoveries indicate that we are now part of a “global village” in which legal jurisdictional boundaries are mere social constructs that go against our nature as transboundaried ministers;
5. Our feelings tell us that we are right to cross boundaries;
6. Our experience of cross-boundary ministries is that the people with whom we minister are holy and that their gifts are worth celebrating across boundaries;
7. We might refrain from authorizing further cross boundary interventions but will leave room for pastoral care to those who experience themselves as called to a cross boundary ministry;
8. Those who don’t agree with us are stupid;
9. Those who don’t agree with us are stupid;
10. We are more enlightened than those who disagree with us;
11. Those who disagree with us are stupid;
12. Our feelings tell us that we are right and you are stupid if you disagree.”
