Gays with placards caused the last Lambeth to focus on them? Give me a break. Someone should tell them about record keeping software. The FACT that they were demanding and indeed forced action on the anti-gay ressolutions long before the conference can be easily researched and documented. <BR/><BR/>It is an interesting commentary on the Nigerian selection process that they produce the arch-heretic and a house full of liars. <BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-69475689052329966832007-09-15T10:33:00.000-04:002007-09-15T10:33:00.000-04:00Now let me get this straight.First they weren't go...Now let me get this straight.<BR/><BR/>First they weren't going to come to Lambeth if certain people were invited.<BR/><BR/>Then they weren't going because certain people WEREN'T invited.<BR/><BR/>Now they're not going because there might be people there who instead of being decently thrown in jail because of who they are would POSSIBLY be picketing a meeting at which they were the main topic of conversation?<BR/><BR/>What of all the little behind-the-scenes machinations they themselves have done in previous meetings like Dromantine and Dar es Salaam? It's better to do things in the back room than to openly confront the problem face-to-face? <BR/><BR/>The Anglican Communion proposed by Nigeria and others is not one I really want to be a part of. We don't need a College of Cardinals or a pope, but that seems to be what is wanted by at least some. The question becomes "If Jesus appointed Peter I, who will the Anglican Communion get to play Peter II?"Linda Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793936253851743845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-59997558706191359482007-09-15T07:16:00.000-04:002007-09-15T07:16:00.000-04:00Mark Harris wrote, "alice c. linsley... postponing...Mark Harris wrote, "alice c. linsley... postponing Lambeth may or may not be a good idea.

I believe, as Archdeacon Kago of Kenya said some twenty years ago, "you will be pruned." As you know, that is mostly good for the tree and great for the fruit. But the tree lives.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the branches that are pruned can be put in water and will start new roots and can be planted elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>alice c. linsley... postponing Lambeth may or may not be a good idea.

Blessing, and unashamedly promoting, sodomy on the part of ECUSA's shepherds abd congregants is THE Issue. Repent, for the Lord is laying waste your pastures.<BR/><BR/>Jer 25:35-37 No refuge will remain for the shepherds, nor escape for the lords of the flock. A voice--the cry of the shepherds, and the wail of the lords of the flock! For the LORD is laying waste their pasture, and the peaceful folds are devastated because of the fierce anger of the LORD. <BR/><BR/>I feel certain that this will not make it past moderation, itching ears and all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-75689839723562825202007-09-14T20:36:00.000-04:002007-09-14T20:36:00.000-04:00The request to postpone Lambeth is a wise one seei...The request to postpone Lambeth is a wise one seeing that tensions are so high and everyone is anxious.
