This afternoon, the AM bishops held a roundtable; the audio is available at this link. Some takeaways:
Archbishop Kolini states that “the whole problem is around power. There were five candidates to take my place. 10 voted for 1, the other voted for himself.” He is calling Bishop Alexis out here I think. He is consistently trying to hang this mess on Alexis. To read more, click here.
AMiA Winter Conference – Kolini vs. Rwanda
According to sources inside the AMiA Winter Conference meetings, retired Archbishop Kolini spoke heavily in defense of Chuck Murphy and against the Rwandans during the clergy convocation.
He is reported to have turned to Murphy and said, “Chuck, you are a victim of politics.”
He told the gathered clergy not to make Rwanda an idol. He said that Jesus has sent the clergy, “Rwanda has not sent you.” He is also reported to have said that “it is reverse colonialism.”To read more, click here
AMiA Winter Conference Day 1 – Revealing the New Thing
This morning in Houston, Bishops Murphy and Kolini presented for about an hour and took a couple hours of questions. The message from these men is that efforts at reconciliation are ongoing, but that the way forward remains unclear. How this matches up with the message tonight from Archbishop Yong Ping Chung is hard to see.
According to tweets from tonight’s meeting, Yong’s remarks included:God is asking the AM to enlarge their tents for global mission. Hard work is ahead. (The AMiA) needs to go rescue those in darkness.

David Roseberry said that Yong blamed the Internet and the devil for the damage to the AM. To read more, click here.
