[Times Online] 15 Dec 2007--The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, asserted his authority over Anglican leaders yesterday in a document sent to all archbishops that said that those who went against the “mind” of the Church risked being excluded from its councils.
The warning, spelt out in his long-awaited Advent Letter to the Church’s 38 Primates and other leaders, could lead to The Episcopal Church of the US and the Anglican Church of Canada forfeiting their seats at the top tables of the Anglican Church if they do not curtail their liberal pro-gay agenda.
The admonition applies equally to conservative bishops and archbishops who have been carrying out “irregular” ordinations. Dr Williams condemns this as illicit interference in other provinces and says these newly ordained conservative bishops will under no circumstances be invited to next year’s Lambeth Conference, the ten-yearly meeting of all Anglican bishops.
