News — and sometimes Not-News — is flying thick and fast. The big news of yesterday, from my point of view, was the stand that the Bishop of Sudan took publicly — and from what I have heard through the grapevine various TEC people are meeting with him today. Whatever happens in such a rumored meeting, I’m confident that TEC will be clever enough to articulate 1) the roses, sunshine, and bubblegum of their “relationships” with the Province of the Sudan and 2) just how humble and gentle and non-retributive and generous the Episcopal Church actually is in response to the Primate of the Sudan’s remarks. That’s basically the best they can do — and of course, they must do their jobs.
Which brings me to a little glance at the press in general.
