Lambeth diary: Saying sorry


BBC report in which Rowan Williams is quoted as saying that all the American Bishops (except one) were invited to Lambeth because they said the were sorry.

"But Dr Williams said the American bishops had earned their invitations through contrition.
Some individually expressed regret for the action widely blamed for prompting the widening rift over homosexuality in the Communion.
"Corporately the (American) House of Bishops asked for forgiveness last year," said Dr Williams, "and 50% of the provinces (individual autonomous national Anglican Churches) or a bit more said that's probably all right.""

Yet, every resolution presented to General Convention in 2006 requiring repentance and compliance with the Windsor Report on the issue of consecrating/ordaining homosexuals was either voted down or not acted upon. Duplicity, thy name is TEC.
