UPDATE: I am told by a friend in England that Jonathan Petre, who filed the story I mention below, is already in Tanzania, so it seems likely that the story broke there, which would mean it would indeed be a new development.
I generally trust Jonathan Petre’s reporting, even though I am sometimes critical of The Telegraph’s editing and its headlines. But I don’t know quite what to make of the story he has today. I thought the saber rattling by Peter Akinola and his party regarding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori’s invitation to Tanzania, had been dealt with. Is this a fresh round, or is Petre simply recapping? I tend to think the former, because the story mentions conservative misgivings about having John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, at the meeting. I hadn’t heard about that before.
The notion that Akinola’s group has a veto on invitations is novel, to say the least.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph sounds as though it is ready to pull the plug on the Anglican Communion. Have a look.
