A Covenant of the sort being proposed has to do with enshrining as normative within the Anglican Communion a specific theological perspective as the only theological perspective.
Similarly the proposed Covenant provides a legal mechanism for discipline and exclusion as the solution to theological difference.
Neither of these things are Anglican.--- the Rev. Nigel Taber-Hamilton
And that, gentle readers, is the whole thing in a nutshell.

Is the New Covenant given us by Our Lord Jesus Christ insuffucient? Why do we need another covenant?
No matter what is in the covenant, I am against it. It will be used to punish and exclude.
David, yes. Anglican Covenant = oxymoron.
