The Bishop of Ohio Responds to the Lambeth 2008 Invitations

[TitusOneNine] 27 May 2007--I write to let you know that I am aware of the current scope of the Archbishop of Canterbury's invitations to the Lambeth Conference and respect his privilege and prerogative in making those invitations. I also want to be clear with you that I do not believe it is Bishop Robinson's "manner of life" that has "caused exceptionally serious division or scandal within the Communion," rather it is the divisive actions of those who have used it in an intentional effort to divide both The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.

Note the common talking points in this letter and the one written by the Bishop of Arizona. Both letters try to blame the divisions in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion on orthodox Anglicans and their leaders and to absolve the liberal Episcopal leadership of any responsibility.
