A Statement from the Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop on today’s Rowan Williams Announcement

Posted by Kendall Harmon

From here:
“I am grateful for Rowan Williams’ service as Archbishop of Canterbury during an exceedingly challenging season. We can all give thanks for his erudition and persistence in seeking reconciliation across a rapidly changing Anglican Communion. His leadership of that reconciling work through Indaba and Ubuntu is bearing remarkable fruit, and I believe this will be his most important legacy. I give thanks that his spiritual and intellectual gifts will continue to bless the larger world, albeit from a different vantage point. May the coming months bring well-deserved peace to him and his family, and may we join in blessing his ministry. ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!’”
The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori
Presiding Bishop and Primate
The Episcopal Church

Damned with faint praise: “through Indaba and Ubuntu is bearing remarkable fruit, and I believe this will be his most important legacy”, and after all he has done for TEc!

I’m sure what she was giving thanks for was not his departure but his inability to keep The Episcopal Organization on the straight and narrow.

The eschatological ring in my ear from her use of the scripture verse at the end of her comments did not help my overall impression.

I’m not surprised, and I’m not unhappy.  It will be interesting to see if she thinks she will continue to get her way, or she will continue getting her way. 

Prayers for a new lionhearted AB of C willing to stand up for the traditional Faith.

KJS may be in for a surprise, and she might want to begin thinking about her future once he leaves office.
