This response is well worth a read for those interested in the furore surrounding the "Covenant for the Church of England". It's a response to the criticisms by some of the original authors of the Covenant.

I know a fair few of the guys who signed it (and some of the people writing critiques).
I honestly think it's mainly a shared expression of exasperation at the actions of a few bishops who seem (to them) to be hindering churches in their dioceses from getting on and proclaiming the good news of Jesus.
I agree that it doesn't especially help bring people closer together. The exception of course is the groups who largely do agree with it (e.g. Reform and New Wine). Not that everyone in either group agrees with it, but a lot do and probably feel closer to each other now than they did before.
