I already have two articles in that series posted on the Internet. I thought that English readers might be interested in reading them. The first is Bigger Is Better. Or Is It?" It is on the Internet at: http://anglicansablaze.blogspot.com/2009/03/big-is-better-or-is-it.html<BR/>The second article is "Ecclesiastical Government in the Anglican Church in North America." It is on the Internet at: http://anglicansablaze.blogspot.com/2009/03/ecclesiastical-government-in-anglican.html<BR/>I am in the midst of drafting a third article, "The Episcopate in the Anglican Church of North America." <BR/><BR/>One of my concerns is the ACNA's abandonment of the synodical form of ecclesiastical government. Too much power is concentrated in the Provincial Council. The ACNA leadership is doing by constitutional and canonical means in the ACNA what Presiding Bishop Schori and the Executive Council are seeking to do by extraconstitutional and extracanonical meansin The Episcopal Church. I am not going to speculate on the motives of the ACNA leadership but from my perspective they are on the wrong track.<BR/><BR/>I have submitted an alternative constitution or the ACNA to the ACNA leadership. It is based upon the constitutions of the Anglican Church of Australia and the Anglican Church of the Province of the Southern Cone of America and is on the Internet at:http://anglicansablaze.blogspot.com/2009/01/proposed-constitution-of-anglican.htmlRobin G.
