I have found that, when following Anglican synods both sides of the pond, that the Lord has a way of creating a testimony that can be seen by those with eyes to see.

So, even in the midst of the CoE decision to turn away from God and to follow the world, comes todays lectionary reading:

The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

The man said,

‘This is now bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called “woman”,
    for she was taken out of man.’

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Genesis 2:18-25

We can ignore and reject the truth, but we cannot ignore the consequences of rejecting the truth.

All that comes now will be the sad and painful result of the schismatic decision today.

Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
