February 26 2005 By virtueonline DROMANTINE: Koinonia But No Communion

This writer cannot recall a time or meeting when this has not been so. And this is entirely what would be expected in the light of the teaching found in such places as the Virginia Report 1998 and the Windsor Report 2004.

Significantly missing at the press conference was US Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold, the bishop on the hot seat, who had left the center for personal reasons the previous night.

VirtueOnline learned today from reputable sources that Griswold and Rowan Williams had an altercation the night before, after the communiqué had been released. He accused Williams of being an ineffective leader of the communion.

After three days of open, honest and very frank discussion by the Primates, VirtueOnline was told that the Primates had "reached a conclusion."

Both provinces could face suspension at the end of three months if they fail to implement the recommendations of the Windsor Report.

February 24 2005 By virtueonline DROMANTINE: Day Three of the Primates Meeting

What it means, at one level, is that the Primates control the agenda and not the Anglican Communion Office. This in itself is news. The spin doctors at the ACC no longer run the show.

At another level it is still too soon to say what the outcome will be. Speculation is not helpful at this point.

There will be a formal press conference on Friday at the Dromantine Center, the time yet to be determined, but anything could happen before then.

We got through the main (entrance) gate onto the grounds without incident and drove up to the retreat center. I got close enough to the building, jumped out and headed to the main front door and lobby area. Before I got halfway down the long driveway a guard stepped out from behind the glass front door and came briskly out to meet me and asked me my business. I told him that I wanted to meet Primate X and would he find him for me.

Addressing a packed St. Patrick's cathedral at a choral evensong to mark the visit of the primates of the Anglican Communion, Williams, who seemed dejected, recalled Paul's letter to the Ephesians (2:13-22) and pled for peace echoing the apostle's call for "peace to those who were far off and peace to those who were near."

February 22 2005 By virtueonline DROMANTINE: Orthodox Primates Refuse Joint Eucharist with Griswold

The chill turned icy when orthodox primates of the Global South refused to celebrate the Eucharist in the presence of ultra-liberal American Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold. As a result Irish Primate Robin Eames announced that his chaplain would offer Eucharist and be the celebrant to anyone who wanted it. None of the Global South bishops showed up.

"We would not celebrate the Eucharist at the same altar with Griswold," a Primate told VirtueOnline.

"Furthermore," says Lewis, "there are other reasons why such action would be improper and illegal-all of which would be asserted (including possible counterclaims) in the event of any attempt to 'seize the property.'"

At the same time both were licensed as bishops in the Diocese of The Murray within the official Anglican Church of Australia by the Diocesan the Rt. Rev. Ross Owen Davies, who was among the consecrators of the two men.

The consecrations address "the broken altars and displaced chalices" and oppression of orthodox believers resulting from western liberal revisionism on Scriptural authority, sexual morality and women's ordination.
