Arguing for a middle way from the extremes

In the current chaotic mess that is the Anglican Communion, I'm glad I found this bit of sanity (thanks to Mad Priest and Max Rainey).

An alternative African perspective, in the Anglican tradition of via media - The Anglican Communion: crisis and opportunity - read the full text of a speech by Bishop Musonda Trevor Selwyn Mwamba of Botswana.

The late Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, wrote in a foreword to a book, Grow or Die in 1981, that "…no single form of Christian experience, conviction or organisation is going to prevail over others. Conservative and radical, contemplative and activist, pietist and social reformer, all must learn to live together. They may and should see much to criticize in their own and others’ position. The critical faculty must not be lost. Reverence for truth must still be paramount. But all must learn to live together, for in religion, as in all else, the same things do not appeal to everybody".
