[USA Today] 19 Apr 2007--Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, head of the 77-million-member Anglican Communion, announced Monday he'll visit with U.S. Episcopal bishops this fall in what may be a last ditch effort to patch fractures over views of the Bible and the roles of homosexual clergy.
At a press conference at the Anglican Church of Canada, Williams said he and other Communion leaders would meet with the U.S. bishops Sept. 20-25 in New Orleans, "to try and keep people around the table for as long as possible on this, to understand one another."
"We may come to a point where people feel there are irreconcilable differences," said Williams. "But when there is an overlap between human rights and what the church can endorse, it does no good to isolate ideas... If the Anglican church divides, everyone will lose."
I do not see how Rowan Williams really thinks that he can "patch fractures over views of the Bible and the roles of homosexual clergy" when he has been busy this week contributing to those divisions.
