Now you 'Recife' him, now you don't- Anglican crisis deepens

[Times Online] March 23, 2006--This is a picture of the deposed Bishop of Recife in Brazil, Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti, outside Lambeth Palace on the evening of Tuesday October 4 2005. He arrived just as the House of Bishops meeting was ending and was invited to join the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and other bishops for evening prayer in the Chapel. Afterwards he had a half hour private talk with Archbishop Williams who also met the 'other' Bishop Robinson at around the same time last year. So it was with a sense of amazed disbelief that I read in the minutes of a recent meeting that Archbishop Williams had with the Brazilian bishops that Archbishop Williams was reported to have stated he "did not receive" the deposed Recifian after all. The meeting between the Archbishop and the Brazilians took place during the recent World Council of Churches meeting in Brazil in February.

So what is going on?
