It is easily forgotten that the current crisis was really triggered a year earlier when, in June 2002, the Diocese of New Westminster decided to authorise same-sex blessings through a synodical vote (the third, following similar votes in...

As he comes to the end of his tenure, we only regret that he has not chosen to engage the Anglican Communion Institute until this point and now only in this manner. In this case, we fear he may not have read very thoroughly or accurately. Our writings are offered publicly to the...

What Are We Meeting About? The Current Shape of our Common Discussions in the Episcopal Church Archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20070515015354/http://www.anglicancommunioninstitute.org:80/articles/2006/What_Are_We_Meeting_About.html A reflection by the ACI Several important meetings, mostly of American bishops, are soon to be held (e.g. in New York , in Texas , and, we are told, elsewhere).
