VOL: This is technically correct, but only technically. The Archbishop was deeply involved in this event and indicated as such by sending two of his bishops, the Rt. Rev. Michael Scott Joynt (Winchester) and Dr. N.T. Wright (Durham) to both participate and listen to what these Windsor bishops had to say and report back to him. To infer that Dr. Williams was simply a passive player is to downplay his role. Frank Griswold was either not invited or chose not to attend.

The first incident occurred when a group of orthodox and heterodox bishops met in New York City to discuss what future, if any, the orthodox still had in what is still called The Episcopal Church, now loosely thought of as Unitarian for people who say the creed, but really believe that God has willed Millennium goals, not salvation, to save a sin-torn world.

The diocese saw the hand-writing on the Global South wall and rejected the homoerotic priest.

As large orthodox cardinal parishes like Christ Church, Plano along with a host of large parishes in Florida and California leave with their money and parishioners, increasingly what are left are medium-sized parishes, small missions and parishes run by retired clergy. Across the country churches are slowly but surely emptying. The more so in liberal ones, death catches up with them with aging priests and aging parishes waiting for the grim reaper. It's only a matter of time.
