[EV News] 8 Oct 2007--The Daily Telegraph reports today that the Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali has said that he would find it difficult to attend the Lambeth Conference alongside those who consecrated or approved the appointment of Anglicanism's first openly gay bishop.
"Unless they are willing to say that what they did was contrary to the Gospel, and we all of us from time to time need to repent about what we have done wrong, I would find it very difficult to be with them in a council of bishops." He said.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Bishop Nazir-Ali also backed the calls of African archbishops for Dr Williams to convene an emergency meeting of all the primates to decide whether to discipline the Americans or postpone Lambeth.
According to the Telegraph the Bishop of Winchester, Michael Scott-Joynt, has claimed more than half of English bishops are considering whether to attend the Lambeth Conference.
