    I found it odd that Williams used the American pronunciation of ‘controversy’ and employed the vulgar “impact” in his speech.

    This little sentence almost seems in code:

    “The program of pre-Lambeth hospitality which has been offered by local churches here in the UK will help to consolidate these relationships for the future in ways that will respect the integrity of all.”

    especially that last cryptic clause. Additionally, asserting that our

    “Primary tasks [are] of service and mission”

    requires a little explication.

    ABC’s plan for Lambeth: “There will not be a resolution on this subject.” Let’s jamboree, boys and girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The inscription on the tombstone of the Anglican Communion. Kyrie eleison.

    “Asked how the conference would address the issue of homosexuality, Archbishop Williams said one day on the schedule was reserved to consider “sexuality questions as they affect the ministry of bishops,” including a report on the listening process from the Rev. Canon Phil Groves of the Anglican Communion Office. “It [also] is inevitably going to be part of the conversations informally, day by day as people will bring to the conference what their anxieties are and what their hopes are. There will not be a resolution on this subject.” http://www.thelivingchurch.org
