In his post at the Covenant blog tonight, Doug LeBlanc opines:
Moderate and liberal bishops may well ask what they have to gain by fasting from participation in the Lambeth Conference. That’s simple: They would gain the moral high ground, at least in proving their commitment to catholic order. Of course they may already believe they occupy that moral high ground. This is the bishops’ opportunity to demonstrate their moral principles to the broader Anglican Communion.
If all they can manage to say to the primates is “Our hands are tied” or “We’ve already met your requests,” they had just as soon spend the next two days on more of that much-needed and redemptive hurricane relief.
Here’s Doug’s whole piece.

Exceedingly cogent point!
