The Postulant Writes To His Bishop

This paragraph particularly resonated with me:

The great spiritual struggle for me right now is probably the same as it is for a lot of us in the Anglican Communion. I can easily find myself feeling anxiety, dismay over the shrill voices on the extreme ends of the current debates, and frustration that judicious argument seems powerless against misrepresentations and rhetorical sleight-of-hand. I worry that there is no middle ground between those who think that everything is essential to the faith and those who think that nothing is. What’s so insidious in all this is the diabolical urge to seek out such anxiety by spending too much time reading the blogs and news reports.
