Ugandan primate's 'incursion' into Georgia violates Windsor Report, Presiding Bishop notes
I fear the Anglican Communion is no longer worthy of the name "Communion." It seems that schism approaches ever closer. If the primates cannot even observe courtesy to each other or any recognition of the Windsor Report, it means that they no longer hold the Archbishop of Canterbury in any position of authority. God help us all. And God help our suffering world while some church leaders fight for power and vainglory.
Ugandan primate's 'incursion' into Georgia violates Windsor Report, Presiding Bishop notes
I applaud the efforts of the Presiding Bishop in making an attempt to put a stop to the outright insults and disrespect from some bishops of the Anglican Church. No matter our differences the church should not be allowed to divide because of people's personal views. As an African-born clergy I see clearly that the activities of some of these bishops is becoming for personal gains. While I may not agree to certain practices, my God calls me to minister to all people. Can you imagine what would happen if an American prelate goes to Uganda to preach against incest, polygamy, etc.?
Archbishop of Canterbury writes to the bishops of the Anglican Communion
This is a clear and wonderful letter, full of hope and promise. But how can it work when even one bishop is barred from participation? What am I to believe when not all are included? Despite the promise, this new, "different" shaped conference does not include all bishops "for purposeful discussion among equals." How is it that all are not to be included in the "fire of the Spirit"? "The potential of the Conference" cannot be "great" when all in our Communion are not included. I mistrust those who designate who the Spirit will be with and who will be left out. I am saddened and ashamed.

According to the news article, the "clergy and laity voted in October 2007 to disaffiliate with the Episcopal Church." If they are no longer members of TEC, what has [Presiding Bishop Katharine] Jefferts Schori to do with it?Search
