Category talk:Anglican symbols

Since the 2003 decision of the Episcopal Church of the United States to consecrate Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, despite the fact that he had left his wife and family and then later entered into a sexual relationship with a man the fragmentation of an already fragile Communion with the worldwide Anglican Communion occurred. It was in deliberate defiance of the collegial mind of the bishops worldwide expressed at the 1998 Lambeth Conference and became a serious hindrance to those committed to biblical evangelism and discipleship. Furthermore, the 2008 Jerusalem Decleration was made in large part to directly address and distance the Anglican Communion from the Episcopal Church. It is no longer acceptable to include the Episcopal Church as part of the Anglican Communion. This is evidenced by the founding of the Anglican Church of North America, or ACNA, which now holds the place the Episcopal Church of the United States formerly held within the Communion and the support it receives from the Communion worldwide. Please update your site information accordingly by removing the Episcopal symbols (or at least distinguishing) between the two on this page. -- 23:04, 25 August 2013‎ User:JCalk

They category is "Anglican symbols," not "Symbols of the Anglican Communion." Therefore, such a change should not happen without some serious discussion. However, creating subcategories within "Anglican symbols" called "Anglican Communion symbols" and "Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America symbols" and "xyz symbols" where "xyz" is a church typically thought of as "Anglican" that is not related to the Anglican Communion or the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, might be in order.

Probably more important is updating the English Wikipedia articles on the topic. As any changes in this area are likely to be challenged by people who aren't familiar with recent church history, citing reliable sources and explaining the change on the talk pages is critical if you don't want to be accused of pushing a particular point of view.

The category name "Anglican symbols" is rather general and broad. If any greater specificity is felt to be needed on Commons, subcategories would be the place to do it... AnonMoos (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
