Gene Robinson to be invited to Lambeth - Two Questions

http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/?p=1845

[Anglican Mainstream] 29 June 2007--Following the report that Gene Robinson is to be invited to the Lambeth Conference, two questions need an answer.

Is the Archbishop of Canterbury deliberately drawing a line between Gene Robinson, who is to be included, and orthodox bishops, such as Charles Murphy and Martyn Minns, and elect-bishops such as Bill Atwood and John Guernsey appointed by his brother Archbishops of Rwanda, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda who are to be excluded?

Since the Primates of the Global South have made it very clear that an invitation of any kind to Gene Robinson would mean that the bishops from their provinces will be unable to attend, does the reported invitation mean that the Archbishop of Canterbury is signalling that he has abandoned any attempt to hold the Communion together and is accepting that it is irrevocably split - with Canterbury siding with the TEC revisionists?
