Bishops invited to sit under the Church’s ‘shady tree’ and give tribal politics a go

A story/commentary about the first try at the Indaba process from the London Times. Allison Lawrence (pictured with Mark) is quoted below _

Allison Lawrence, wife of the Bishop of South Carolina, Mark Lawrence, said: “They have taken a Zulu word and used it for an American concept. The African concept when you do an indaba is you talk, talk, talk until you agree. In these indaba groups, they talk a little and then someone changes the subject if they don’t like it. The Americans are feeling railroaded and manipulated. Even the Africans are saying, ‘This is not indaba’.”
