A Voice of Clarity on the Anglican Covenant

The Rt. Rev. Moses Tay, former Archbishop of the Anglican Churches of Southeast Asia and Nepal, lashed out in this Christian Post article against the Anglican Covenant process. Bishop Tay says at best, the Covenant is a means to "whitewash" the inability of the Anglican Communion to stand firm with Biblical conviction, instead opting to maintain unity at any cost.

His interview for the post sounds much like the stands he took as reported in the Thaddeus Barnum book called "Never Quiet", a historical chronology of events whereby third world missionaries started to bring the Gospel back to the US despite withering criticism from American bishops and many in the international Anglican Communion.

Bishop Tay went on to add "It’s (the success of the Anglican Covenant) dependent on their willingness to repent, but they (the leaders of the American Anglican Church) have no fear of God,” he said, comparing them to Eli, a priest in the Bible whose sons died because he failed to discipline them.

“None of the resolutions have worked. None of the committees have worked,” said archbishop Tay. He described the Anglican Consultative Council, a ‘major decider’ in the Anglican Communion, as ‘U.S.-controlled.’

The archbishop depicted the covenant as an attempt to “draw a bigger circle to include both the gays and the non-gays."
