Things are heating up at Lambeth:
\nA Sudanese bishop is calling for Bishop Robinson’s resignation: “God is not making a mistake creating Adam and Eve,” he said. “He would have created two Adams if he wanted.”<\/a>
\nAnd the bishop of Fort Worth, is calling for “Those Bishops who stand in solidarity with Gene Robinson [to] withdraw themselves from further participation in the Lambeth Conference.”
\nMeanwhile, Victoria Mathews mentioned that maybe one day the Archbishop of Canterbury will be female<\/a>…Mathews’s prediction is being reported on, but it’s not exactly breaking news because a) it’s speculative and b) it’s not surprising, given the recent vote at York.
\nIn this context, perhaps a prayer for the church is in order. Here is the collect for church conventions from the Book of Common Prayer:
\nAlmighty and everliving God, source of all wisdom and understanding, be present with those who take counsel in Canterbury for the renewal and mission of your Church. Teach us in all things to seek first your honor and glory. Guide us to perceive what is right, and grant us both the courage to pursue it and the grace to accomplish it; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
