GAFCON Primates: Nothing New in Windsor Group Report

http://www.livingchurch.org/news/news-updates/2008/8/29/gafcon-primates

[The Living Church] 30 Aug 2008--The draft report from the Windsor Continuation Group offers nothing that doesn’t already have a proven track record of failure, according to Presiding Bishop Gregory Venables, primate of the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone.

Bishop Venables spoke with a reporter from The Living Church shortly after the release of a communiqué from the GAFCON Primates’ Council. The communiqué rejects the conclusions and recommendations contained in a draft paper distributed by the six-members of the Windsor Continuation Group during the Lambeth Conference, specifically the continuation group's call for a three-fold moratorium on public blessing of same-sex unions, the consecration of partnered homosexual persons as bishops, and cross-border incursions by overseas bishops.
