Leonardo, your photo essay of the primates who attended the meeting gives me hope for the future of the Anglican Communion. Thank you.
Grandmere Mimi,
Me too--that´s exactly the FRESH feeling that swept over me as I was preparing this post--like we haven´t been present for all the bitter nonsense for years and years now--all the nastiness, the untruths the exploiters who became opportunists right before our eyes--all that washed away from me today--I don´t think it matters what ¨bad¨ has been done--I don´t think ill-will and the demonizing of part of our World family will survive itself--truth will win out--it´s simply a matter of staying on the road that seemed to take a fork to the right (as in correct) today--I can see/feel willingness of spirit today at the Anglican Communion that I haven´t noticed before amongst the Primates...the pictures touched my Soul.
Thanks be to God
...the pictures touched my Soul.
Mine, too. :-)
...looking at the photos --it occurred to me that ++Katherine is one very brave and strong woman...
++Katherine is one very brave and strong woman...¨ Margaret
There is something very ¨direct¨ about her that is solid and not vulnerable--I don´t know what that comes from, but for me, it´s ¨getting over the nonsense¨ excepting REALITY and having a degree of spiritual maturity that is farrrr more fact than defending less-certain ¨wishful¨ fiction--I always admire confidence in people who need not intimidate or use a bulldozer to guard their position(s). Nope, most of these faces look friendly, genuine and willing to ¨listen¨ and ¨share¨ equally (at least they look that way to me).
ooops- ¨accepting reality¨ (I think she expects it already)

I'm with Grandmere Mimi. The pictures of those who are there gives me hope. Particularly happy to see the West Indies Primate as I read a while back that he (or maybe a predecessor?) struggled with +Gene's consecration.
++Katharine is AMAZING! I'm still high thinking about her presence last week in Jacksonville. I never thought that would happen. And it did. And it was GOOD! Thanks Leonardo!
i still cant believe Katherine have the gort to attend Primate's meeting,its dis-heartning that our world wide communion which has professed the faith led down by our apostles is being paved way out by some newly interpreted bible n gender equal seekers. God help katherine n Episcopal church to re-think.

Look on the brightside Anonymous, while we had the presence of a well educated female Primate the ¨Primates Meeting¨ was spared the attendence of several thieving Archbishops/bigots who are those who preach/instigate violence, murder and outcasting at the Anglican Communion--what a great new option God has given us...sanity over insanity, wisdom over ignorance and inclusion over marginalizing--good healthy spiritual choices in the eyes of most emotionally healthy people.
