Anglican leader to meet US bishops
2007-04-18
The spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans said yesterday he has agreed to an urgent request for a meeting with US church leaders as the Anglican fellowship nears a split over the Bible and sexuality. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, visiting Canada for a spiritual retreat with the country's Anglican bishops, said he would meet with US Episcopal leaders in the fall. "My aim is to try and keep people around the table for as long as possible on this, to understand one another," Williams said at the Anglican Church of Canada headquarters.

#8  Bravo, xbalanke! I hope that you will always find spiritual fortification in your own moral rectitude. I'll be so bold as to venture that you have a community of like-minded folk here at the 'Burg who might prove equally supportive as your previous congregation (if not more so).

Allow me to put it this way; Rantburg has been far more supportive of my own return to conservative roots than some 90% of my own family or friends. Fortunately, I've always had an admiration for capitalism that outweighed even the most staunch of familial democratic traditions. This is one of the principal levers that allowed me to escape the liberal mindset. Opposition to free market economics is a primary indicator of political and philosophical insanity. Rantburg has only reinforced such lessons and for that I thank Fred and the Moderators.

Even if all it amounts to is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. As I have mentioned before: When your only tool is talk, everything begins to look like dialogue.
