[Christianity Today] 21 Jul 2008--If you are following the now-labeled "Summer of Schism" among global Anglicans, the well-known George Conger, sometime correspondent for Christianity Today, offers the assessment below after an exclusive interview in the UK with Archbishop and Primate Gregory Venables from Argentina and Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan.
These are two of the most prominent evangelical Anglicans worldwide. Venables preached the closing sermon at the recent Global Anglican Future conference in Jerusalem, and now, both Venables and Duncan are in attendance at Lambeth, the once-every-ten-years gathering in Canterbury on the campus of the University of Kent.
After this report, I've included a press release from GAFCON primates, released in the last 48 hours. This is a direct response to the criticism from Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams regarding the GAFCON statement.
The bottom line is this: The Anglican crisis continues to escalate and will do so well toward the end of 2008. This fall, several American dioceses will vote on whether to separate from The Episcopal church. On Wednesday, a west suburban Chicago area priest confided: "It's all over but the law suits." She may just be right.
