Strong and open opposition to the attempted revisionist takeover of the Instruments of Communion in the AC  -   letter to the ABC from ++Orombi:

And a little reminder that not everyone in the TEC House of Bishops is happy with the impact of the Glasspool consents on the Communion: http://babybluecafe.blogspot.com/2010/04/episcopal-bishop-of-virginia-and.html . In this case the bishop concerned wants full inclusion of gay and lesbian Episcopalians ...!

I know it's old-fashioned of me but I can't seem to get rid of the notion that personal correspondence should be private.  Why don't those like Orombi simply do away with the pretence that they're actually writing to a named individual, for their eyes only, and just post their views on the internet?  You know, cut out all the middlemen who obligingly leak these things?

" I can't seem to get rid of the notion that personal correspondence should be private. Why don't those like Orombi simply do away with the pretence that they're actually writing to a named individual, for their eyes only, and just post their views on the internet?"

Nothing improper or modern about it Fern.   For example the ABC has been doing it for years, and we know what a scrupulous observer of boundaries he is:

http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/2510?q=letter+primates

Mind you some people do as you suggest and "just post their views on the internet".   

The GAFCON Primates have just done so in this communiqué:

And another Primate takes action.....++Ernest writes to the ABC .....taking these letters with Fulcrum's last piece, I am more hopeful for the AC  -   the manipulation of the structures of the AC in the interests of tiny groups of revisionists is becoming impossible....

Now ++Ernest has written too.....  those who have been patient for 7 years (including Fulcrum leaders) seem to have moved  -  hope the ABC responds positively and does not let a tiny group of revisionists split the AC any further

Bowman Thanks for the kind comments.  It wasn't my specific intention to cast new light on "kephale", especially as I really am no expert at all on Greek (or on any of this, to be honest).  Before getting carried away, it's probably best for me to say I think the e...
