Surely you are aware that the heresies of the American church have caused increasing distress to faithful Anglicans in America. More troubling even than the unrepentant sinfulness of the bishop of New Hampshire, ECUSA seems to have rejected tradition and the supremacy of Holy Scripture, while falsely claiming to uphold both. Indeed, our presiding bishop has already mocked the Windsor report in his published statement.

Third, I am assuming that the people who wrote the report are good people trying to do a good job at a tough time on a hard subject.

Its chief recommendations are enhanced powers for the Archbishop of Canterbury, But these are no new powers, they are merely a reiteration of his existing powers to invite or not invite to Anglican Communion gatherings. He is to be backed by a Council of Advice to share decision-making and give him the confidence to use these powers by not exercising them in isolation. Unfortunately lonely burdensome leadership is sometimes required.

It is not a good sign that this cartoon surfaced in my memory as I read the latest document of the Anglican Church.
One reasonable initial reaction upon reading the newly released Windsor Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lambeth Commission is to agree with Frank Griswold, who writes, "The Report will be received and interpreted within the Provinces of the Communion in different ways, depending on our understanding of the nature and appropriate expression of sexuality."
