Archbishop of Canterbury to go to GenCon

From the London Times-

Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams is definitely to attend The Episcopal Church's General Convention this summer, The Times has learned. He will fly out on 7 July and return on 9 July in time for General Synod at York that weekend, Lambeth Palace told me today. What a turnaround from the last GenCon when all was in uproar over Gene Robinson, when a woman, Katherine Jefferts Schori, was confirmed as the first female head of an Anglican province, and when schism seemed inevitable. The rain for the last few summers seemed undending, a pathetic fallacy of the state of affairs in world Anglicanism. Today, the 'sun' is out. Remember the wonderful button badge slogans everyone wore last time? My suggestion this year, when I hope to persuade my newsdesk to let me attend for the first time in 20 years in this job, is: 'Let it shine, let it shine.'
