Synod Report Friday 7 July

http://www.evangelicals.org/news.asp?id=459

[EV News] 8 Jul 2006--In the evening the Archbishop of Canterbury issued a statement on the Anglican Communion commenting particularly on the position of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America. He gave a warm endorsement of the actions of Frank Griswold his “brother Archbishop” (the retiring presiding Bishop of ECUSA) showing once again that Williams does not recognise the promotion of sexual immorality as a problem. Williams also made reference to the decision of the Church of Nigeria to appoint Martyn Minns as a Bishop in the US. When the statement is unjumbled it appears that it says very little than that we must all keep on reflecting on what has happened. A small group has been charged with analysing the response of ECUSA to the Windsor report and the Primates in order to report to the next meeting of the Primates in February 2007. It is quite possible, if this group adopts the same approach as Williams, that they will conclude that ECUSA has met the requirements laid on it.
