As you’ll have noticed I haven’t been commenting and drawing much about Anglican goings-on. This is a temporary state of affairs. But I couldn’t resist making one or two insignificant remarks about the fact that the ‘Gafcon’ alternative Lambeth Conference has been rearranged so that the ‘political’ bit is now only for invited dignatories. You’ll need to go elsewhere for in-depth analysis of course, but just one or two things that I noticed:
From the Gafcon site:
Participants will include bishops and their wives, key clergy and laity
I wonder how many of each the bishops are allowed to bring.
From the Gafcon brochure (pdf):
When those who are invited indicate their acceptance to the Primate, or lead Bishop, they will be issued with a unique “pilgrim number”.
If anyone reading has a pilgrim number please write in. I will give a prize to anyone who can prove that their number is in single digits.
