What interests me in particular is if this is going to cause any one to reconsider their position, or will individuals just go on case hardening their prejudice.
Personally I have wavered and wavered over the issue of ordination of women to the priesthood although w.r.t. women bishops it has always seemed wrong. But this initiative from Benedict XVI has quite taken my breath away.
The joy of ending near 500 years of schism!
Surely every ecumenically minded Anglican must see that unity is actually on offer.
This must be the greatest consideration of all. Our Lord prayed that we should be one. For us not to be, would be to go against our Lord's wishes.
I just wonder how all this is going to turn out?
