\u201cThe report is severely compromised and further tears the existing tear in the fabric of our beloved Anglican Communion,\u201d\u009d Archbishop Orombi wrote. \u201cIt is gravely lamentable that our Instruments of Communion have missed the opportunity in this moment to begin the healing that is so necessary for our future.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Archbishop Orombi said the primates never asked the House of Bishops to make new policy for The Episcopal Church. Given that General Convention would not meet again for three years, he said the primates wanted the Episcopal bishops to clarify parts of two General Convention resolutions which the primates believed could be interpreted several different ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cTEC has lost the right to give assurances of their direction as a church through more words and statements,\u201d\u009d Archbishop Orombi said. \u201cThey write one thing and do another. We therefore cannot know what they mean by their words until we see their meaning demonstrated by their actions.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
