"Archbishop Akinola responded it was not the worthiness of the minister that prompted their objections, but their belief that unity of doctrine preceded unity of worship. It was not a question of receiving from Bishop Griswold, but with Bishop Griswold."
Very canonical, very Orthodox of the Archbishop.
note the use of the verb "resuscitate."....Hardly an optimistic choice, eh?

The more I read, the more I admire the Primates of the Global South.
Pardon while I rant!
I thought I was home free. Our Suffragan Bishop was scheduled to come visit this Sunday. He and the other two Bishops attended and have glorified Vicki Gene's ordination. So, I thought I was OK to just go to the chapel service we have for a private boy's school at 9:15 so I wouldn't have to serve with this meretricious ass. I serve as Head Acolyte, actually I am more of an aco-heavy, with three of the students from the school, and sometimes I preach.
Now I learn that the crud is coming to the 9:15 service!
Guess everybody is going to be in shock when I refuse communion from him.
Prayers would be appreciated that I can refrain from slapping him.
P.S. Does anyone know how to recall/impeach/defrock bishops? Can it be done? If it can't be done can a petition be drawn up to the convention to add an ammendment to the church by-laws for it?
Sorry, but I still see this meeting as having been, "Come back in a few years, and if people are still angry, maybe we will slap you on the wrist."
* ECUSA remains official body of the Anglican Church in America.
* While the Southern primates refused to share communion with Griswold, no relief was offered for the American parishes over whom Griswold and his lackeys preside.
* Robinson is still in there, and people are still being granted permission to desecrate the sacrament of marriage in Canada.
* Not even so much of a threat has been made about what failure to repent will cause.
Seriously, is there any way the primates' meeting could have gone worse, sort of the unimaginable (like Anikola deciding that he, too, should endorse homosexuality)?
