"CANON KEARON SPEAKS"

Katie Sherrod at Desert's Child, a member of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church, gives a splendid eye- and ear-witness report on the recent meeting in Maryland, including the question and answer session with Canon Kenneth Kearon, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion. I see no way to entice you to read her post with excerpts. You simply have to read it all. Take special note of Katie's titles of the sections of the report.

  1. Almost emailed you about this this afternoon but realized that you would see it through the same link I had used. Fine piece, plus section headers that bring to mind Molly Ivins.

  3. Wow! Just wow! Thank you for passing this along - I had not seen it elsewhere. What incredible behind-the-scenes insight into that interview. Of course, that added western flavor helped translate it correctly for this Nevadan!

  6. Her comments are priceless. As for the Canon, well, bless his heart, if you know what I mean, and I know you do.

  7. Katie's writing reminds me a bit of Molly Ivins, too.

    Did the Canon think Americans were too dense to make the connection between the the Church of England being in full communion with the Old Catholic Church and the Church of Sweden, and yet the ABC feels that it is necessary to remove members of the Episcopal Church from ecumenical committees?

    Bless his heart.
