ABC Statement Sent to Diocesan Office for Distribution

As the headline suggests, I sent the statement of the Archbishop of Canterbury to our diocesan office for distribution over the DioNews system. I have not yet received it through dionews and I expect that you haven't either. As has been typical over the last three years our diocese and the national church has been reluctant to release information that hasn't first been filtered through some Ministry of Truth (like Episcopal News Service, for example). As you might imagine some in ecusa were furious about the news coverage by bloggers at the recently concluded General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Again, people were getting news from services other than the ecusa Ministry of Truth. As you may not know, the Archbishop of Canterbury has a different viewpoint on the crisis in ecusa that we have been living through over the last three years. He has a different take on the remedy for the actions taken in 2003 and the inadequate response to the concerns of the Anglican Communion by General Convention 2006. You can view the statement by Rowan Williams below, as well as commentary.
