In reply to Andrew. You might be right Andrew. The opportunity may have passed.

In reply to Fr. Johannes Jacobse. Father, the bottom line here is the EA is running out of time. There was a narrow window for the EA to start up and function in a healthy manner and that window of opportunity has closed. Many of the predictions made here about the future of the EA look more and more true. I doubt people will take the EA seriously much longer. Its pretty much just a trade show for overpaid bishops and overpaid staffers.

In reply to Andrew. And consider too the talent we have especially among the laity that would gladly help the Bishops who frankly, are often better qualified to do the heavy lifting. Bishops are busy, but so is everyone else. A division of labor would go a long way. Take the press release about the HHS mandates for example. We have lots of talent that could have ghost-written that, even given it more play than it got. Why not use those resources?

The only real purpose of the Episcopal Assembly is to block the growth of any American Orthodox witness or movement towards unity. All these committees and commissions are really istruments to promote mediocrity. Isn’t amazing how today in the information age the EA can accomplish nothing in two years. However, centuries ago before electricity bishops could come together and change the world in far less time.
