Polity as idol, again

Again from The Living Church article

The Presiding Bishop said some members of the House of Bishops are convinced that the leaders of other provinces of the Anglican Communion do not understand the polity of The Episcopal Church. Archbishop Williams and the primates’ standing committee should come and “hear from us about concerns around polity issues, how this church is governed, that we do not make decisions lightly or easily, but after lengthy conversation and deliberation through a very reasoned process,” she said.

Or it could be that they understand it better than they think, and recognize that it is not working, bringing about teaching and polity that contrary to Scripture! The unconverted having a vote over matters of doctrine is certainly not a positive attribute...and I am not just talking about General Convention.

There has to be a mininum standard of what the Church believes - that being Scripture as the Church throughout the ages has understood them....not committing the sin of chronolotry - making the modern times the idol!
