Picture this…

You organise a conference where all the leaders of the Anglican Communion will be in attendance, you announce that there will be a photo opportunity at the Sunday Eucharist and then, having kept all the photographers completely in the dark and without any pictures by having a security cordon around the meeting, you cancel the [...]

The long-term Problem with Two Provinces

One of the options being put forward to solve the crisis in TEC is a 2 Province solution. Broadly put, the Primates would create a new Province (probably under Bob Duncan as it’s first Primate) and it would sit alongside TEC. Dioceses and parishes could align to it, the orthodox in the USA would be [...]

Meeting People

So I was sat in St Aldates this morning and Charlie Cleverly (sat next to me) leans over to the guy on the other side and says to him “Mike, have you met Peter?” and Mike says “no” so we shake hands and turn our attention back to the front. Then I have another look [...]

Just to lighten the mood AND to prove that drumming is so cool…

How’s it looking at 7pm GMT?

Just got in from Oxford. Because I was away it looks as though my source for Press Conference notes has gone elsewhere to publish so Anglican Mainstream have them this evening. At least my hit count will go down to something reasonable.  There doesn’t seem to be anything of substance on the crucial issue of [...]

News and Comment coming later

I’m at a prayer conference in Oxford raising prayer for Tanzania. More news and comment when I get home.

SITTING AT THE LORD’S TABLE:
A statement from Global South Primates
A number of the Global South Primates have not shared in the Holy Eucharist today with their fellow primates. They include Abp. Peter Akinola, Abp John Chew, Abp. Benjamin Nzimbi, Abp Justice [...]

Latest from Tanzania

From Inclusive Church
Several times +Peter has gone in and out of the primates’ compound to a room upstairs where conservatives have been huddled. Last time he passed through, Peter was accompanied by a security guard and Mrs. Martyn Minns.

Janani Luwum - Martyr

Janani Luwum, Primate of Uganda, was martyred today, 30 years ago. He would not compromise on Biblical truth and he paid the ultimate price. You can read more of his martyrdom here.
O God, by whose providence the blood of the martyrs is the seed Of the Church: Grant that we who remember before you [...]

“I wish to complain…”

Absolutely brilliant
—
A congregant enters Canterbury.
Congregant: ‘Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The primate does not respond.)
C: ‘Ello, Miss?
Primate: What do you mean “miss”?
C: I’m sorry, It must have been the purple robes. I wish to make a complaint!
P: We’re closin’ for a peace march.
C: Never mind that, your grace. I wish to complain about this [...]

Matt Kennedy pulps the Sub-group report

Summary:
The Communion Sub-Committee findings betray a serious lack of study and care. There are gaping inaccuracies and unwarranted assumptions throughout the document. The mistakes are so glaring that the work appears more motivated by apologetic concerns than investigative care.
I pray the primates reject it.
It’s an absolute blinder and a must read. Go and look [...]
