Tom Wright, the Bishop of Durham is a well respected evangelical scholar. If you search this bog you'll find several other pieces by him. As a conservative he has been critical of the whole separation/realignment movement. This is a wonderful letter about his experience so far at Lambeth and makes sense of some of the more "over-the-top" reporting we've been exposed to."there have been some deeply poignant moments: when the Korean church led the Eucharist a few days ago, at the end of the Intercessions the senior Japanese bishop came up to the platform and prayed a simple prayer asking God’s forgiveness for all the awful atrocities the Japanese people had inflicted on the Koreans a generation ago. A massively emotional moment, quite suddenly, just like that. I stared through my own moist eyes at the stage, aware that I had just seen a flash of pure Christianity. May it be a good omen for what faces us in the coming days."
Its well worth taking the time to read -

Although he's upset by Realignment talk, Bishop Wright does agree that there are "dire" (his word) problems in EC-USA. You can read a litany thereof by clicking clicking here--Crimes and Heresies of the Episcopal Church.
