I voted for it before I voted against it.....
Having heard all about Ms. Schori's support in Tanzania of the Primates Communique, and the great hope that she would promote the plan and process to the American bishops so that they could find a way to stay in communion with the Anglican Communion and make a way for traditionalists - her 'truth' comes out. In both the Episcopal News Service article (the official propaganda arm of the Episcopal Church) and the Article in The Living Church (much more reliable...which I say as a foundation board member), pasted below, we hear.....
Asked whether her support for the actions taken by the House of Bishops served to revoke her signature on the primates’ communiqué, Bishop Schori responded that she had not signed the communiqué in Dar es Salaam. Her assent had been verbal, she said. Archbishop Williams had gone around the room asking all the primates if they could live with the agreement. Bishop Schori said she told the primates, “I would bring this back to the House of Bishops," “explain it” to them, and “seek the will of the house.”
Asked to clarify her comments, the Presiding Bishop said the “best way to gain a consensus” among the primates in Tanzania was to support the communiqué, however, “she was not able to speak for the whole House of Bishops.”
So, in other words, I supported the communique to get out of there looking good, but now I can blame the other bishops.....Pray, Pray, Pray for the Episcopal Church!
