[Tenerif News] 18 Jan 2007--Whenever the Church in Britain has been threatened with serious division before, there has been some apocalyptic reason, which may be accepted or discarded, for the sake of religious unity.

So Much in a Few Words
http://www.livingchurch.org/publishertlc/viewarticle.asp?ID=2843
[The Living Church] 3 Jan 2007--Q. How many members of The Episcopal Church are there in this country?
A. About 2.2 million. It used to be larger percentagewise (sic), but Episcopalians tend to be better educated and tend to reproduce at lower rates than other denominations.
New York Times Magazine. Sunday Nov. 19, 2006
The New York Times was lobbing soft balls to the new Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, when this exchange took place. The more I have thought about her answer to this simple question, the more I am convinced that in a single sentence the Presiding Bishop illustrates rather dramatically the crisis that faces The Episcopal Church. She does so in three ways.

The Letter, Lambeth, and a Little Bit More - David Roseberry
http://www.globalsouthanglican.org/index.php/comments/the_letter_lambeth_and_a_little_bit_more_david_roseberry/
[Global South Anglican] 3 Jan 2007--As an American, I have been looking for the ABC to settle the very important matter before the Anglican Communion like a strong father in a family filled with fighting children and wayward sons. But I sensed for the first time that the role of the ABC at Lambeth will not ever be that of a ‘father,’ but of a ‘grandfather.’ His ‘historic office’ is there, like Lambeth Palace itself, to give wisdom and weight and representation to the years of the past and the hope of unity ahead.
My posts last weeks about the AMiA and CANA preceded the controversial letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury by only a few days. The letter took me by great surprise simply because of its clear tone and direction. (I thought it was a fake at first… sorry Matt.) Knowing it’s genuine, I am greatly encouraged by it. The content of the letter was consistent with everything I had learned on my travels. And the direction of the letter confirmed my recollections of the conversations I had at Lambeth just a few weeks earlier.
