DUBLIN: The Spin of Anglican Communion General Secretary Kenneth Kearon
Canon Kearon was recently interviewed on BBC's Sunday Sequence with William Crawley on the upcoming Anglican Primates' Meeting in Dublin, Ireland.
VOL believes that Kearon is spinning this primatial gabfest, failing to tell BBC's listeners the true nature of the primatial absences and the depth of the crisis in the Anglican Communion.

BBC SUNDAY SEQUENCE HOST WILLIAM CRAWLEY: When you hear the word "Anglican Communion" you now expect that phrase to be followed by the words "embattled", "crisis" or "schism". This week, in fact, the leaders of the Anglican Communion -- the Primates heading the Communion's provinces across the world -- will be meeting in [Dublin] Ireland for what is bound to be described as a "Crisis Summit".

Its becoming quite clear that Kearon and Williams have designed this primates meeting to educate the primates that the primates meeting cannot actually make any decisions.
"original purpose of the meeting established in 1978 by the then Archbishop of Canterbury Donald Coggan was an opportunity for “leisurely thought, prayer and deep consultation”.
and earlier in the week in Kearon's interview
"BBC: Changing Attitude Ireland, which as you know is a pro-gay or gay-support group within the Church of Ireland, has called on the Irish government to encourage the Primates, at this meeting, to stand strongly against theologically-sponsored homophobia or abuse of gay people across the world, particularly in the developing world. Would you respond to that call? Would you support that stand against homophobia?
CANON KEARON: The Anglican Communion is basically made up of autonomous churches, so each church relates to its own government. So the primary response to a request like that, were it to be made, would be for the Church of Ireland, not for the Anglican Communion as a whole. "
In other words the primates are not supposed to have an opinion on anything.
Dar obviously scared the death out of them so now they are doing everything in their power to stop any instrument of the communion from actually making any decisions.
In parallel TEC is building its Episcopal communion "we are not a national church we are a global body" and the Global South is moving forwards even more rapidly with theirs, and has now stopped even attending any of the completely neutered instruments as clearly is is just a waste of everyones time.
Clearly the Anglican communion is now on life support.
I agree entirely, Anon.
