“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.” [2 Corinthians 4.7] It’s no insult to Synod-2015 to describe it as a contemporary example
of what St Paul meant about the Church being an “earthen vessel” for
the treasure that is friendship with Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour.
As numerous reporters and commentators have noted (some more accurately than others), there is a clash of theologies and pastoral sensibilities here at the Synod; procedures and process have been muddled; rumours and rumours-of-rumours abound, both inside the real Synod and in the media/blogosphere Synod. That’s all fairly obvious; it ought not scandalise anyone.
