Yet, according to some, avoiding taking a stand doesn’t mean nothing will happen.<\/p>\n
Reverend Peter Frank, spokesman for Anglican Communion Network, an evangelical renewal movement, said that by design, the Lambeth Conference was structured to forestall any decision-making.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was depressing for those who hoped the Anglican Communion would return to mainstream Christianity,\u201d\u009d said Frank.<\/p>\n
Further, because of the moratorium on decisions concerning ordination of gays and same-sex unions, Frank foresees a widening in the present divisions between liberal and conservative factions.<\/p>\n
\u201cNether side will wait for another 10 years to act,\u201d\u009d said Frank. \u201cThe moratorium will empower the innovative to be freer to act because they know that nothing on the radar will happen to them. However, it (the lack of any official decisions) will empower the defenders of the faith to be realistic, not count on the leadership, and organize within the structure. And they are in the majority.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
