TEC House of Bishops Study Document challenges role of Primates

http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/?p=1759

[Anglican Mainstream] 6 June 2007--AM website notes that the nine members of the committee who produced the report include Bishop Henry Parsley as chair, who has deposed and removed clerical orders from orthodox clergy in his diocese who failed to affirm that they would not join the Anglican Communion Network, and Professor Ian Douglas who is also on the Lambeth Conference Design Group.

The provision for the intervention of primates made at the Lambeth Conference in 1998 arose particularly in response to the grave problems in the Province of Rwanda following the genocide. Clearly an approach approved by the whole Lambeth Conference for addressing problems in Africa is not regarded as acceptable for addressing problems in North America.
