[VirtueOnline] 15 Dec 2007--From within the ranks of the new American Anglicans, who look to Africa and South America for authenticity, the December 14 "Advent Letter" of the Archbishop of Canterbury was quickly subjected to harsh criticism. But also there was a critical response from the progressive liberal parts of The Episcopal Church, where Gene Robinson is honored. The appearance of such immediate criticism from "left" and "right" suggests that the Letter had things to say not acceptable to those of very strong convictions.

Actually it did have such things to say: e.g., it explained why neither Bishop Robinson nor the dozen or more "Missionary Bishops" from Africa had not been, and would not be, invited to the Lambeth Conference in July. In both cases, it is the same reason: their episcopal ordinations have not been approved by the Anglican Instruments of Unity-even if they have by several provinces.
