[Articles of Faith] 23 Jan 2008--Thinking Anglicans, the Guardian and I have been leaked (and posted almost simultaneously!) a copy of the minutes of two recent meetings that took place in Jerusalem between Bishop Suheil Dawani, Archbishop Peter Akinola and Archbishop Peter Jensen. The other attendees are listed below. You can read my news story on our online faith page. (See also Libby's latest blog on Britain's first Jedi church.) Bishop Suheil did not mince his words. Gafcon would be 'disastrous' for his ministry in the Holy Land. The minutes are self-explanatory. It rather fits with what Rowan Williams was saying yesterday at Lambeth. If any of you want a reminder of what Lambeth was like last time, and what Rowan Williams might be trying to avoid by turning it into something approaching a university seminar, read Andrew Brown's long essay which he's dug out of his archives for me. Meanwhile, Bishop of Buckingham Alan Wilson has dreamed up Ten Rules for Cooking up a Schism. Quite amusing. See below for the Gafcon-Jerusalem minutes in full.
