This will be a thread to watch. For those following the AMiA, Inc. split with the Rwandan Anglicans, trouble is stirring. The blog to watch here is Stand Firm. at: http://www.standfirminfaith.com/?/sf/page/28233 . Reformed Anglicanism's involvement with one (large and influential) AMiA Church---fine Christian Churchmen, but Praise-Bandish, quasi-chariscratic, not very Confessional if at all, and rather low Churchmanship. We live in eastern NC where low churchmanship has governed. Singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" to 4 loud crooners exfoliating on guitars, drums and an electronic keyboad...well, that just did it. The pain was excruciating. The service got worse when the computer geek messed up the projections on the wall--back and forth on the Nicene Creed until he fixed the projection on the wall. Could hardly read what was on the wall. Too painful to return. They tossed the "Traditional Service" to an early AM and hoisted the enthuasiasts to the main hour. (We had to travel 61-miles north one way, so we're not returning to hear loud guitars while the highly trained organist, choir, and grand pipes are quiet.) Anyways, this is the thread to watch...at Stand Firm. Also, the acronym PEAR (below), the "AR" part of PEAR means Anglicans of Rwanda. The PE part refers to a French phrase not conveniently at hand. PEAR is the Rwandan Anglican Church.

Open Thread: Comments on the Constitution & Canons of the Province of Rwanda

I'd be very interested in our readers' take on the Constitution and Canons of the Province of Rwanda -- both good and bad, including comments on how they might apply to the PEAR-affiliated congregations and how they might have once applied to the AMiA-affiliated congregations.
Plenty of food for thought -- on bishops, church discipline, synod, ecclesiology, and various other aspects of Anglitania as related to AMiA bishops, clergy, and congregations.
