Rupture and the Anglican Church

"To infinity and beyond!" So says Buzz Lightyear, my kids favorite space toy. Maybe we should have "To eternity and beyond" but that might start the kind of discussion I didn't intent to start.
Let me describe what I was hoping to do with this blog.
I have recently returned to the Anglican fold after some years away and am soon to be ordained as deacon (although I am currently working in a community based ecumenical ministry position).
I continue to follow much of what is going on in the Anglican family worldwide and I am particularly grateful to the brilliant medium of Blogging for keeping me abreast of the latest.
I was struck by my Bible reading today: Matt 9: 14-17. 17 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved."
The image of wine and wineskins is at the heart of many of my questions about the future of the Anglican Church. (I know that I am removing the image from it context and that the theme of Jesus teaching in this passage has much to with Israel and the Church or at least the authorities in Jerusalem and the disciples of Jesus. But please allow the image to stand for the purposes of generating discussion.)

There are a couple of points I'd like to clear up right at the start... Old wine is not all sour vinegar - I am sure I am not the only one to enjoy the rich pleasures of tasting a well aged vintage. There are some wines that really should not be opened (I was going to say un-corked!) until they have aged.
New wine is not always new - grapes come from vines that are hundreds of years old and produce wines that are not unlike their predecessors.
At the heart of Jesus message in this passage is the risk of new wine expanding in old wineskins that have lost their elasticity and so rupture.
We should not confuse our role as the church - called to work in the vinyard - and the work of God. We don't make wine - we put in hard work to collect the ingredients together in the best environment for wine to be made. But we do make the wineskins.

I want to start blogging about the old and the new in the Anglican Church. I want to hear what others (especially Anglicans) have to say on what is well-aged, mature vintage and will be useful in our future. I want to face up to the things that are no longer relevant to the church and do not help us express the Gospel.
Some of the topics I hope to discuss will include: Worship, hymns, songs, preaching, vestments, evangelism, fresh expressions etc
Can I also just add that I am in no way suggesting that the current debate on sexuality and ordination is part of the new. I intently dislike the way some in the family have stopped debating and caused a rupture in the church.
I am not setting out to have a discussion on doctrine (although it will happen).

I want to start encouraging a future generation of Anglicans who will be sharing the Good News in 2040 with clarity and power. My fear is that the message we have been given will become so covered over with the way we do things as to render it an old rigid wineskin. Even if this has already begun to happen, I believe that we can start to fashion new wineskins, skins that are capable of holding the best quality wine from grapes grown on ancient vines.
