Ein Moment der Gnade.
Der Primas der Traditionellen Anglikaner, Erzbischof John Hepworth, hat am Dienstag auf die Neuigkeiten aus der Glaubenskongregation reagiert. Der volle Wortlaut seiner Erklärung findet sich auf Rorate Caeli.
Mir haben besonders die beiden letzten Absätze gefallen:
>>I have made a commitment to the Traditional Anglican Communion that the response of the Holy See will be taken to each of our National Synods. They have already endorsed our pathway. Now the Holy See challenges us to seek in the specific structures that are now available the “full, visible unity, especially Eucharistic communion”, for which we have long prayed and about which we have long dreamed. That process will begin at once.
In the Anglican Office of Morning Prayer, the great Hymn of Thanksgiving, the Te Deum, is part of the daily Order. It is with heartfelt thanks to Almighty God, the Lord and Source of all peace and unity, that the hymn is on our lips today. This is a moment of grace, perhaps even a moment of history, not because the past is undone, but because the past is transformed.<<
Man muss sich das wirklich einmal überlegen, was da passiert ist und weiter passieren wird. Der Blick auf die historische Dimension dieses Vorgangs ist atemberaubend.
