DIVISION MARKS SUNG EUCHARIST AT CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL
A personal highlight of the service was to see my dear friend, Archbishop Samy Shehata of the Province of Alexandria and Bishop of Egypt, receive a new primatial cross from the hand of Archbishop Welby, in the presence of His Eminence Archbishop Angaelos, Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London, one of the ecumenical guests at the service.

LOST IN TRANSLATION: HOW THE SUDANESE BISHOPS ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT TO LAMBETH

Interview with Archbishop James Wong: 'We will never leave the Anglican Communion'
VOL: It seems the orthodox bishops here are having to straddle the fence with one foot in Lambeth and the other foot in the theology and mindset of GAFCON. How do you reconcile that?
WONG: As long as our belief is in a God who is working in this world, we will maintain our stand in the Communion and there will be no breaking away.
Most of the Global South bishops present here will be in Kigali, Rwanda for GAFCON next year.

CANTERBURY: LAMBETH PRIMATES ARGUE OVER WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN FAMILY

LAMBETH DESIGN GROUP REVISES MARRIAGE DEFINITION AND REMOVES RESOLUTION 1:10
Archbishop Welby issued a "call" that reaffirmed Resolution 1.10 from 1998, prescribing that marriage is only the union between a man and woman. Two days before LC2022 was to begin, the conference staff issued a revision that removed the "call" to reaffirm that resolution, thumbing their noses at those Anglicans who believe "same-sex marriage" as biblically unacceptable."
