Two questions and an answer worth noting: Mr Nigel Greenwood (Ripon & Leeds) to ask the Chairman of the House of Bishops: Q30. Following their meeting with the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church from September 19 to 25 in New Orleans, the Joint Standing Committee of the Primates and the Anglican Consultative Council reported that the Episcopal Church has clarified all the outstanding issues relating to their response to the questions directed explicitly to them in the Windsor Report, and on which clarifications were sought by 30 September 2007 by the Primates, articulated at their meeting in Dar… Read more »

Nigel Greenwood and Sr Rosemary CHN are both trustees of Changing Attitude. Thanks to them for tabling the questions and to Bishop Richard for his answer, which doesn’t exactly help us know whether Bishops like Michael Nazir-Ali are going to accept their invitation to Lambeth, and whether anyone much cares if they don’t (apart from the good people of Rochester who belong to Changing Attitude and have signed up to Inclusive Church).
