GAFCON Overload Has Begun

As we knew it would, stories about GAFCON are increasing exponentially in the Anglican blogosphere and religious (though primarily Anglican) media. My Google Reader GAFCON Google Blog Search has had as few as one post per day over the past couple of weeks. That started growing slowly beginning this week. Today it jumped to more than 30 blog posts found during the course of the day. It will only increase over the next week and a half as the so-called Pilgrimage gets underway on Sunday.

The rejectionists' spin, which began as soon as GAFCON was announced at the end of last year, now moves full speed ahead. Bloggers across the entire Anglican spectrum now parse every document, speech, and press release coming out of Jerusalem. Every time something comes up that I want to sit down, look through, and perhaps write about, has been sufficiently analyzed--and even shredded--before I have the chance. How does one compete with the likes of Elizabeth Kaeton, Father Jake, Mark Harris, Susan Russell, Matt Kennedy and Sarah Hey (not to mention countless others)?

Who knows, maybe some original inspiration will strike. Stay tuned, the tempest in the Anglican teapot just got a bit choppier!

Peace,
Jeffri
