I would like to see the Anglican Church broaden its shoulders to embrace not only the rest of the ( transformed) Anglican communion, but also all those of other faiths. We all must face the certainty that God cannot be claimed by any church or religion as its own. If we do not look beyond our own altar and steeple, we will lose the opportunity to save the Anglican Church and more important to create the kingdom on earth that Christ talked about.

O GOD, who didst choose Israel to be thine inheritance: Look, we beseech thee, upon thine ancient people; open their hearts that they may see and confess the Lord Jesus to be thy Son and their true Messiah, and, believing, they may have life through his Name. Take away all pride and prejudice in us that may hinder their understanding of the Gospel, and hasten the time when all Israel shall be saved; through the merits of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
