That ought to read, “After all, two of the hierarchy, The Primate and the National Aboriginal Bishop, are regular contributors.” My bad.

Rather than relying soley on a letter writing campaign The Journal might actually try a more vigorous exercising of its editorial independence. Critics of the Journal’s independence really do not have much to complain about. After all, two of the regular contributors, The Primate and the National Aboriginal Bishop, are regular contributors. Lovely though their scribblings often are, they are on the organization friendly end of the continuum of opinion. . How frequently has the Journal offered critical opinion of the view from inside the church house bubble? Less constrained use of Independence may attract new readers.

As for subscription cancellations, that will be my response if critics of editorial independence are successful in their coup. If General Synod structure wants to do something to improve communications, my suggestion is leave Anglican Journal in print and independent, and focus instead on improving the Anglican Church of Canada website. It tends to obstruct rather than facilitate access to update information.
