Gathering Under A Bigger Tent

See the New York Times article Saturday, February 10, 2007 Section A4 "Inviting Africa's Anglicans to Gather Under a Bigger Tent." The article takes us to southern Africa and into the mind of Anglican Archbishop Ndungane (pronounced un-dun-Gan-ee) who is pleading for a "broad-tented church in which believers of various stripes live in harmony." Oh, that we could be that! And Ndungane goes further in helping us retrieve our true identity as a church whose markers are "grace, tolerance, and living with difference." That's the church I thought I belonged to!
