(4.2.1)  The Covenant operates to express the common commitments and mutual accountability which hold each Church in the relationship of communion one with another. Recognition of, and fidelity to, this Covenant, enable mutual recognition and communion. Participation in the Covenant implies a recognition by each Church of those elements which must be maintained in its own life and for which it is accountable to the Churches with which it is in Communion in order to sustain the relationship expressed in this Covenant.


[In addition to reading the entire covenant, you may also wish to read a .pdf of the changes made to the fourth section of the final draft.]

Sorry, but the back door is there in 4.1.5 and even the ++ABC notes it.  Then there is the cherry picking of both 4.1.5 and 4.2.3 which allows complaining parties to cherry pick an instrument to complain to.

This is nothing more than a mischief making playground and it is dead on the ground.

Good job.
