supplements as well as those coming from SPREAD and we have always
triple checked our facts. Not once has anyone claimed that we have erred
in our facts. In this particular case no one has responded to the document
criticizing its facts or interpretations.
VOL: Do you see an imminent collapse of the Episcopal Church?
RODGERS: No, I see a lingering death. It will take some time.
VOL: Will it wither and die rather than totally collapse like the Soviet Union
did?
RODGERS: I believe it will be withering rather than sudden collapse.
VOL: Do you see the TEC being thrown out or ostracized by the wider
Anglican Communion?
RODGERS: I think a major division of the Anglican Communion is more
likely.
VOL: Do you see eventual schism in the whole Anglican Communion with
evangelicals in Africa and the West simply saying 'we have had enough'
and going their own way, with TEC announcing that it has 15 countries
lined up that will be their communion.
RODGERS: Yes, that seems most likely to me in the not so long run.
VOL: Do you see any good resolution to the property issues confronting
orthodox rectors trying to get free of revisionist TEC bishops?
RODGERS: Were the Anglican Communion to hold together and were the
Communion to declare that TEC has violated its own Constitution and its
standing in the Communion, then there might be a legal way that the
orthodox might keep their buildings. But that does not seem likely. In those
States where personal property principles are used, and not the
ecclesiastical hierarchy principle, the orthodox have had some success. On
the whole it looks dim for the orthodox to me. Better to have the blessing
than the building, if one has to choose.
VOL: Will you ever really retire?
