High marks have been awarded to Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and the 2009 primates\u2019 meeting by conservative archbishops, who report that consensus was reached following four days of intense talks in Alexandria, Egypt.<\/p>\n
\u201cArchbishop Peter Akinola is pleased, I\u2019m pleased, Henry [Orombi] is pleased\u201d\u009d with the outcome of the meeting, the Presiding Bishop of the Southern Cone, the Most Rev. Gregory Venables, told The Living Church.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething like the freshness of the Holy Spirit\u201d\u009d descended upon the meeting, Bishop Venables explained. There was \u201csomething different here, something special,\u201d\u009d he said. \u201cWithout a doubt there was a lot of anger and tension,\u201d\u009d he added, but the \u201corthodox had a calmness and peace\u201d\u009d that Bishop Venables attributed to divine intervention.<\/p>\n
