‘Next Lambeth Conference a decision for the primates,’ says Welby

From ENS-

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has responded to inaccurate media reports that the Lambeth Conference had been cancelled by saying, “As it hasn’t been called, it can’t have been cancelled.”

Speaking to the BBC’s William Crawley, the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion said the historic meeting of bishops from around the world would take place sometime after the primates* had met together.


“When I was installed in Canterbury as archbishop I met all the primates, they all came to that, and I said to them that I would visit all of them in their own country which, God willing, I will have done by the end of this November, and that at the end of that we would consult together about when to have a Lambeth Conference.”

Justin Welby, ABC, just tossed his leadership into the jaws of the Primates (some wolves, some accessories to crimes against fellow Anglicans) Is this what he was enthroned to do at the Anglican Communion? A deadly decision that will hurt many because this act of not-so-most ¨humility¨ is actually cowardliness...there is a difference. Shifty at best, the act of a cornered businessman and not a spiritual leader.
