From ELO-
The Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon, secretary general of the Anglican Communion, has issued a statement outlining the next steps following Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' Pentecost letter.
Williams proposes in his May 28 letter that representatives currently serving on some of the Anglican Communion's ecumenical dialogues should resign their membership if they are from a province that has not complied with moratoria on same-gender blessings, cross-border interventions and the ordination of gay and lesbian people to the episcopate. He specifically refers to the May 15 consecration of Los Angeles Bishop Suffragan Mary Douglas Glasspool and the unauthorized incursions by Anglican leaders into other provinces. Glasspool is the Episcopal Church's second openly gay, partnered bishop.
Kearon notes that on June 3 he "sent letters to members of the Inter Anglican ecumenical dialogues who are from the Episcopal Church informing them that their membership of these dialogues has been discontinued" and that he has "written to the person from the Episcopal Church who is a member of the Inter Anglican Standing Commission on Unity Faith and Order (IASCUFO), withdrawing that person's membership and inviting her to serve as a consultant to that body."
The text of Kearon's statement is available here.
