Canon Margaret S. Larom, director of Anglican and Global Relations for The Episcopal Church, will attend a meeting of the Anglican Communion’s provincial secretaries Aug. 23-30 in Hong Kong.
This will be the sixth time the provincial secretaries have gathered. The triennial event is organized by the office of the Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon, secretary general of the Anglican Consultative Council.
“The aim is to bring together as many provincial secretaries from around the world as possible to get to know one another, to get to know their respective churches where they work, to talk about differences and the similarities,” said the Ven. Michael Pollesel, who was quoted in an article published on the website maintained by the Anglican Church of Canada. Archdeacon Pollesel is representing the Canadian church at the Hong Kong meeting.
This sounds sane and hopeful. I wonder how many of the Global South churches are represented.
Over the past several years, the things that have been said and the things that have been done by revisionists/progressives who seem to dominate the behavior of the Anglican Consultive Council leave me with the strong doubt that any event or paper sponsored by the ACC can be apolitical or non-political.
That is, when ever something comes out of the ACC or Canon Kearon, I immediately am on the ‘look out’ for it’s political spin.
