Williams wants to see main antagonists face to face

[Church Times] 22 Dec 2007--The Archbishop of Canterbury does not accept that the division in the Anglican Communion is unavoidable. Refusal of bishops to meet at Lambeth 2008 can be "a refusal of the cross - and so of the resurrection", he writes in an Advent letter that "articulates the mind of the Communion", has stern words for both sides in the dispute, and suggests new ways forward.

Dr Williams sees no consensus among the Primates about the adequacy of the New Orleans statement from the US House of Bishops. While the Communion will be "seriously wounded and diminished" if it fractures any further, he warns that Anglicanism has its boundaries
