US Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori stated on Sept 21 that she had received notice of the meeting, and was planning on attending. The primates of the Global South coalition will meet next month and are expected to take up the issue of whether they will attend the gathering….
The choice of Dublin as the site of Dr. Williams’ fifth primates meeting came as a surprise to some primates, who had been led to believe after the Alexandria meeting they would next gather in Central America.
Ireland has been host twice in recent years.
This meeting could well have come to Wales – the monks at Caldey would provide a perfect environment …….
Blarney seems entirely appropriate in the circumstances.
One is inclined to think they might as well hold it in the board room of 815, given that with Rowan inviting KJS in violation of his own word in his letter last year (to remove TEC from bodies responsible for faith and order), one can assume that this will be a meeting of the Church of the Standing Committee, and that Anglican Primates will probably meet somewhere else.
Perhaps the question will rather be whether Banquo’s ghost will turn up at the banquet or not …
I suspect they will be glad of anyone turning up, even Banquo’s ghost. But there we go, down the pan with Rowan.
“The Church of the Standing Committee.” Good one!
