Katharine Jefferts Schori still not Archbishop of Canterbury. Developing…

The chancellor to the Presiding Bishop, David Booth Beers, told bishops attending the May 24 to 28 Living Our Vows bishops’ training programme at the Lake Logan Episcopal Center in North Carolina that in this letter Dr. Williams had asked the Presiding Bishop to consider absenting herself from meetings of the Anglican Communion’s Standing Committee and the Primates Meeting in light of the Episcopal Church’s violation of the moratoria on gay bishops and blessings, those present tell CEN.

Speaking to a group of bishops during an informal after dinner session, Mr. Beers stated the Presiding Bishop had rejected the Archbishop of Canterbury’s suggestion, observing that he had no authority to remove her from the Primates Standing Committee as she had been elected by the North and South American primates. She also objected to Dr. Williams’ claim to have the authority to ban her from the councils of the church.

I guess that means that the arrogant fraud will show up for the next Primates Meeting whether Dr. Williams invites her or not. Which, when you get right down to it, might be more fun than I’ve had following this story up to now.

If my gracious lord of Canterbury wanted to be a badass, there are a number of ways His Grace could play this. He could refuse to allow Kate in. Or he could let her in and then spend the entire meeting completely ignoring her and not allowing her to speak.

Mrs. Schori could be presented with an unsignable ultimatum. Or Dr. Williams could blandly announce that the start of the meeting would be delayed for a few days until Archbishop Duncan arrives. There are all kinds of ways he could go.

Will he? If the Archbishop of Canterbury expects Mrs. Schori to skip the meeting and she shows up anyway, he’d have to do something. The Episcopal/Anglican left would go absolutely bat crap if he did but until the conservative Communion unconditionally surrenders, they’ll do that anyway. So Dr. Williams no longer has anything left to lose.
