The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has asked Abp Akinola<\/a> at the eleventh hour to cancel his trip to the US<\/a>, or at least not to install a new Church of Nigeria bishop in Virginia today.  Akinola is already here; let’s see if he decides to thumb his nose at the rest of Canterbury’s request, or if he just claims he never got the letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the gathering in Virginia is interesting in terms of who is and who isn’t there<\/a>.  Some other “we don’t want to be Episcopalians any more” groups aren’t terribly enthused by Nigeria’s moves, including some earlier break-away groups.<\/p>\n

Down in the Springs, the Episcopal Vestry for Grace & St Stephens is telling its followers not to participate in the vote<\/a> for the parish to break way from the Episcopal Church to join CANA.  It claims the 20 May vote is (a) rigged, and (b) not legitimate anyway (holding to the official line that parishioners can leave the church, but the parish per se <\/em>cannot).  It’s a legal and practically correct argument — but I’ve never been fond of the “stay home the vote” types of tactics.<\/p>\n

The CANA Vestry, meanwhile, says that Bp O’Neill is a medieval tyrant and a doo-doo head and against democracy and American values and all that.  Ah, good ol’ ad hominem <\/em>attacks — the very model of Christianity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
