Executive Council is meeting June 11-14 in Parsippany, N.J. Bishop Ingham addressed a plenary session of council June 13.

“I think there was a design flaw,” Bishop Ingham said. “I don’t know who prepared the schedule, but we did not give [Archbishop Williams] a chance to ask us questions.

    “[Ingham added] that whoever prepares the schedule for the U.S. House of Bishops should be sure to leave plenty of time for Archbishop Williams to listen to the bishops’ stories.”
    And that is why the ABC had no time to ask–they were too busy “sharing.” And it will probably be the same when he visits with tec’s HoB.
