Dr Rowan Williams restores peace at the troubled Lambeth Conference


London Times on the the completion of Lambeth Conference

"The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, raised hopes that he could hold the Anglican Communion together as the Lambeth Conference ended yesterday without schism or open rebellion.

Dr Williams is pursuing a plan that will depend on three moratoriums being observed by liberals and conservatives at opposite poles of the divided church. The Episcopal Church, which consecrated the openly-gay Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003, and the Anglican Church of Canada, where a diocese authorised same-sex blessings, must both guarantee to desist from any further such moves."
