Anglican Journal: Lambeth prays for those present and those absent

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has expressed optimism about the Lambeth Conference saying that the three-day retreat for Anglican bishops that began on July 16, at the historic Canterbury Cathedral had been “a great start.”

Archbishop Williams made the remark during a very brief interview with the Anglican Journal at the reception last night for the book launch of Marriage, Mitres and Myself, authored by his wife, Jane, with contributions from other bishops’ spouses.

More than 600 bishops have been divided into Bible Study groups as part of the retreat and Canterbury Cathedral, which attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists worldwide, has been closed to visitors during the three-day retreat to accommodate them.

One comment on “Anglican Journal: Lambeth prays for those present and those absent

    The Episcopal Church is willing to risk everything for anyone who has found his/her true identity for each of these persons has caught the light of divinity. Mr. Tramel has broken through the authority of this corrupt world and found himself: God called him to the priesthood. The Church must elevate these people as symbols for all to see. What a great con! That he was evidently an entitled teenager whose pride was trampled on by some local gang members who had no right to confront Mr. Tramel et al speaks for itself.

    Tramel was the leader/manipulator that resulted in the death of a homeless man when he and his friends could not find the village toughs who threatened their friend. He encouraged the other teenagers to confront the gang members who had only insulted their pride. You can read an interview at http://www.thestreetspirit.org/June2006/interview.htm. This was a link from a story entitled, “The Criminal Injustice System.”

    I would love to see some of the telephonic sermons from prison by Mr. Tramel. What did he say that so inspired these superior members of the California Intelligentsia to lobby for his release and then drop him in the midst of persons who are struggling with their own issues? Mr. Tramel was released by the Governator – no big surprise there.
