Update: And so does Bonnie Anderson, president of our House of Deputies. You can find her comments in this lengthy story from Episcopal News Service.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has responded to the statement issued earlier today from the meeting of bishops of The Episcopal Church (TEC) being held in New York.
Archbishop Williams said:
“It’s a positive sign that these difficult conversations have been taking place in a frank and honest way. There is clearly a process at work and although it hasn’t yet come to fruition, the openness and charity in which views are being shared and options discussed are nevertheless signs of hope for the future. Our prayers continue.”
MEANWHILE, Episcopal New Service has filed this story, which includes commenets from Bishops Griswold and Jefferts Schori.
