The Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) is meeting in Nottingham, England this week. The ACC is one of the Anglican Communion’s “instruments of unity” and is designed to offer advice to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church of Canada have given their presentations justifying the actions over the past two years that have caused such acrimony and conflict within the Anglican Communion, and within their respective churches. See news entries at Episcopal News Service for more complete news coverage of the meeting and the presentations.
I’ve read a good portion of the 135-page paper presented by the American delegation. While people can disagree with some of the theological and scriptural work, the following excerpt from the American Anglican Council (AAC) indicates that there is not even a willingness to listen to the arguments. For the AAC and those aligned with them around the world, there is no willingness to compromise or to remain together. Here is an except that I think demonstrates the extreme nature of their cause and their opinions:

“AAC: ECUSA Shameless in Its Defense of a New Gospel
Nottingham – The Episcopal Church’s presentation to the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) asserts a new gospel marked by theology and doctrine contrary to Holy Scripture and inconsistent with the historic faith and practice of Anglicanism. ECUSA’s statements were framed by specific arguments they have espoused for at least 15 years. Their profession that the Holy Spirit led ECUSA to consecrate a non-celibate homosexual and bless same sex unions is deeply disturbing, and we reject the validity of such a claim as contrary to God’s word revealed…”

Read it all.
Their minds are made up, there is no possibility for alternative interpretations or application of Scripture, there is no allowance for similarities to past historic events and changes, and no possibility that their position could be wrong. They have become Anglican-fundamentalists, who are acting in very unAnglican ways.
We shall see whether this is just another round of meetings giving reason for the ACC and the Network to attempt to split the Episcopal Church. I can certainly understand different positions, but I cannot understand the decent into fundamentalism.
