UPDATE: Mary’s blog entry includes 3 “quick capture” videos of Rowan Williams’ homily. MUST WATCHING!
[and no, he doesn’t address the TEC crisis, but this elf at least still found it *really* helpful to watch and listen to him and his reflections on what we owe one another, and what we owe Christ, and about the City of God. There’s a lot of metaphors there that tie into our life in the Anglican Communion at the moment.]
testing 1,2,3
nearly 400 folks logged in and no comments on any thread for 50 minutes on the busiest Anglican newsday in 7 months? How odd!
OK: I sure hope Archbishop Williams will straighten them out. If you’ll pardon the expression.
Information overload & I’m a slow reader … 😉
Metaphors don’t even begin to address the Anglican
Crisis. The three successful elements of leadership are
Clarity, Consistency, and Courage. Still waiting to
hear them.
+++Rowan says:
I am reminded that in Japanese, the expression that means either “I’m sorry” or “Thank you,” depending on context, is Sumimasen. Literally it means something like, “It is not finished.” A debt has been incurred, either by your favor or by my offence, and the matter will not be finished until I can repay the debt.
I’m not sure where to go with that, but it feels like there’s a connection there to what he was saying.
My sound quality was such that I couldn’t make out much of what he was saying, so I gave up. Something about gratitude I thought I heard.
