Opinion on the covenant, from Canada

From the Anglican Church in Canada, an opinion piece about not rushing the Anglican Covenant.

I've wondered for a while how on earth did the idea for an Anglican Covenant gather such steam so quickly? Who really pushed for this besides the Archbishop of Canterbury?

It is heartening to know that other churches within the Anglican Communion are rejecting the idea. Canada, New Zealand, Wales, Scotland and others. As it should be since the covenant is intended mainly as an instrument of exclusion to try and satisfy the right-wingers within the communion.
