Why everyone should go to Lambeth

(…if they are a bishop and have been invited)

when you point

Some bishops have been saying that they are going to boycott the Lambeth Conference because they do not approve of some of the other attendees. See stories like this one for one of the latest examples.

Bishop Alan Wilson has posted a superb piece on his blog explaining why he is going to Lambeth. It is my opinion that all other bishops should heed Bishop Alan’s example.

Update:
Richard is pleased that Bishop Alan feels able to make his point so clearly rather than not really saying anything like some bishops do. So am I. Maggi posts a link too. Come on everyone, lets give Bishop Alan the linking he deserves.

  2. Breaking news: bishop talks sense » Metacatholic says:

    [...] I usually do my best to ignore the misery and mess that likes to call itself the Anglican Communion. But I hope you will read this excellent post by the Bishop Of Buckingham, where he speaks out in a very blunt way. (HT Dave Walker). After the posturing of the bishops of Rochester and Winchester, both of whom feel they should be Canterbury, some clear-sighted honesty and humility is a welcome change.   « A note on literary translation |   [...]

    Bishop Alan – a quiet voice of sense amongst the posturing and shouting that has marred the Anglican Communion.

    I was asked once why I became an Anglican – maybe this is why?
