From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The questions about who signed and who didn\u2019t sign are all very interesting, as well as the discussions about conflict of interest, … [edited]<\/p>\n

Regardless, the crucial issue here is that the JSC Report is a rather bald-faced lie. The requirements of Dar Es Salaam were quite clear, specifically:<\/p>\n

That the HOB make itself clear that GC2006 meant that no bishop living in a same-sex relationship would be approved (not \u201cexercise restraint”).<\/p>\n

That the HOB make itself clear no same-sex blessings would take place, whether public or private.<\/p>\n

That the Primatial Vicar scheme would be implemented–not another DEPO.<\/p>\n

That lawsuits would cease.<\/p>\n

Unless and until all these requirements were meant, border crossings would continue, with the approval of the Primates who agreed to DES.<\/p>\n

The reappraisers understood this. I would ask the reappraisers to jog their memories to recall some of the rather vigorous opposition they offered to the DES Communique when it first come out.<\/p>\n

None (I repeat, None) of the above requirements were met at NO. And everyone knows this. Why then, the reappraisers are so happy about the JSC Report is baffling to me. Either, the reappraisers are thrilled that the HOB was given a pass on a blatant deception. Or, the HOB was not being deceptive, in which case the reappraisers are thrilled because the JSC is lying when it says that the HOB said something they did not say.<\/p>\n

Or the reappraisers are thrilled because they are being portrayed as illiterates. All your vigorous opposition to DES back in February was based on a misreading? DES really didn\u2019t ask for the things that you all were so upset about? And your rejoicing at KJS\u2019s claims that she didn\u2019t actually sign anything were misplaced?<\/p>\n

Of course, the other possibility is that the JSC is just as blatantly dishonest as the HOB statement coming out of NO. And the reappraisers are thrilled either because they approve of the deception, or they are thrilled because all that matters is a Lambeth invite, and if deception is the necessary price for a ticket to Lambeth, it is an expensive price, but one worth paying.<\/p>\n

And the sad thing is that the latter is the most plausible likelihood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
