Will the Windsor Process Save the Anglican Communion?

[Virtue Online] 7 Mar 2008-- is hoped that the Windsor Process, which all the provinces in the Anglican Communion have embarked upon, will save the church from inevitable schism. Many, however, no longer believe it can.

The Windsor Report, ushered in by the former Primate of Ireland, the Most Rev. Robin Eames, has fallen on hard times of late. Most of the Global South archbishops no longer believe that the Episcopal Church has lived up to its demands, while the Archbishop of Canterbury believe (as he said in New Orleans, last year at the HOB meeting) that The Episcopal Church has in fact done so.

The Joint Standing Committee of the Primates/Anglican Consultative Council met in private at the London-based Anglican Communion Office recently to explore further the Windsor Process. Joining them was the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop, Mrs. Katharine Jefferts Schori, who was elected to the Primates Standing Committee in February 2007.
