General Convention 2006

Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling. Then I will go to the altar of God, and I will praise you . . . Psalm 43:3-4

The General Convention of the Episcopal Church

He who has an ear, let him hear

The Bishop of Durham has spoken. In his most recent article, the Rt. Rev. N. T. Wright observed that "the only way forward which will command assent from the Communion and enable us to proceed together is to be careful and exact about what precisely Windsor said and meant."

Read The Choice Before ECUSA.

"...unless the relevant resolutions are amended so that they clearly state what Windsor clearly requested, the rest of the Communion is bound to conclude that ECUSA has specifically chosen not to comply with Windsor."

At last night's SCECAC open hearing, we heard a number of speakers who disagreed with the Bishop of Durham's assessment of the Windsor Report's recommendations. As far as I'm concerned, he has been very
clear.

I have just one question: has this gifted theologian always numbered his paragraphs, or is this something he picked up while writing the Windsor Report?
