She said that many Episcopalians had close relationships with Anglicans worldwide. She recently attended the enthronement of an archbishop in Africa as the representative of her present diocese in Maryland. At least one senior member of the Anglican Church in Ghana will attend her proposed consecration in May.<\/p>\n
While calling for unity, Canon Glasspool remained unrepentant: \u201cMy perception of where the Episcopal Church is is that we are embracing God\u2019s ever-unfolding reign of love and justice. I have heard from hundreds if not thousands of people who feel freed up by this, who are proud of the Episcopal Church, who are anxious to realign themselves with a Church that takes seriously the love of Jesus Christ for all people.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
She declined to comment on the Archbishop of Canterbury\u2019s warning that her election raised \u201cvery serious questions\u201d\u009d. Anglican leaders meeting in Canterbury this week have called for the Episcopal Church to show \u201cgracious restraint\u201d\u009d when it comes to assenting to her election.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pray daily for the Archbishop of Canterbury as I do for our presiding bishop,\u201d\u009d she said, adding that she was \u201cdeeply grateful\u201d\u009d for the trust shown in her by the Los Angeles diocese.<\/p>\n
