ANGLICAN PRIMATES' PATIENCE WITH ECUSA'S "DELAYING TACTICS" LIMITED, GOMEZ WARNs

Plans For Primates' Meeting Include "Adjustment" On Boundary-Crossing, And New Oversight Plan For U.S.

AT THE CRITICAL FEBRUARY 21-26 PRIMATES' MEETING, conservatives will not only press for "compliance" with the Windsor Report's call for a moratorium on gay bishops and blessings, they will seek to modify the Report's stand on boundary-crossing, as well as America's weak alternate oversight plan, says West Indies Archbishop Drexel Gomez.

Asked if the conservative provincial leaders are united as they prepare for their meeting in Northern Ireland, Archbishop Gomez said, "I think we are united in the sense that we maintain our position. We will be calling for the adoption of the Windsor Report and asking for compliance."

And he warned that U.S. Episcopal Church's non-compliance and "delaying tactics" on the homosexual matter "cannot go on indefinitely."

Oh, dratz. The Red "X" showed up. For a few hours, it was Gomez Addams. Ah, probably was poor taste to show him. But I really did like the guy.
