Recent days haven’t brought much new news from the Lambeth Conference. It’s been a whole lot of the same since the beginning, with the only exception being an article complaining about how nice everyone at the conference was acting. Since that’s the case, I’ve been on a break from blogging on the conference. Now I’m [...]

In his latest blog, Dr. Albert Mohler (SBTS President) has addressed a recent periodical in The Economist. The article suggests that one of the things to blame for the division in the 80 million strong Anglican family is the conservative foundation lying at the heart of the African churches. Dr. Mohler explains why this misses [...]

In light of the Lambeth Conference and Bishop Katharine Jefferts-Schori’s comments on the inclusiveness of the Anglican Communion, I thought a quote from Eugene Peterson on spiritual theology would be appropriate. The quote comes from Peterson’s book Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Theology. I first read this [...]

I know it may seem a little weird, but one of the better interviews on the happenings at the Lambeth Conference came from Stephen T Colbert, host of the Colbert Report (like you didn’t already know). Last night, he had a reporter on, and they talked candidly for a few minutes about the seriousness of [...]
Where Have All the Bishops Gone?

Chris Sugden, writing for the International Herald Tribune, comments on why many of the conservative/traditional bishops within the Anglican Communion boycotted the historic conference:
Because they hold that – above anything else – the unifying, formal commitment of the Anglican Church is to Scripture and its teaching, and that those who are endorsing blessing same-sex relationships [...]
Illegitimate Lambeth?

Well, it looks like some the Anglican Bishops who are boycotting the Lambeth Conference feel the same way I do. In an article from England this afternoon, Rt Rev Pete Broadbent said that the general consensus is that no one sees Lambeth as a definitive statement of what Anglicans believe. It also seems that Broadbent [...]

Let me begin by saying that my interest in the Anglican Communion and Lambeth, in particular, is as an outsider. With all of the arguing that is going on, I do have certain sides that I would agree with more than other (and I’d love to grab coffee with any of these bishops, liberal or [...]

It’s an important time for Anglicans everywhere as the 2008 Lambeth Conference is well underway. I’ve been following the coverage closely, mostly because I’m a bit of a nerd with nothing better to do. Other than that, the news coming from the Anglican Communion regarding Synod votes to ordain female bishops, the GAFCON meeting which [...]
