[Times Online] 26 Jul 2008--Rome is taking seriously the prospect of 'corporate unity' with traditional Anglicans but the message is: 'Not yet.' So says Cardinal Levada, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in this letter. The Traditional Anglican Communion's Primate, Archbishop John Hepworth, is rumoured to be heading to Lambeth this week. Read Hepworth's response to his flock here. Meanwhile, the Moscow patriarchate has now criticised the conference for failing properly to address the key issues at stake, which everyone is describing as the 'elephant in the room.' It's a three letter word beginning with 's'. Expect more numinous sparks to fly next week.
