In these pages in November 2021, as the Synod on Synodality was launch-ing, I noted the vagueness of the not-ion of “journeying together”, as it was expressed in the Synod’s Preparatory Docu-ment. Specifically, I complained that the jour-ney has “no defined terminus”. Thus, I asked, “If we do not know where we are going, how do we know when we have arrived?” In January 2023, my question has been answer-ed, at least by one prominent American prelate. The “journey” is a path towards con-flagration of the Church. And we will know we have arrived when the Church collapses in a heap of ashes next to the charred ruins of the American Episcopal Church.
