Presiding Bishop's statement at the conclusion of the 2008 Lambeth Conference

From The Rev. Robert Garrione • Salina, Kansas, Aug 18, 2008 The reflections of the Presiding Bishop are just what we expect from someone in her position. Thank you, for the understanding of the Holy Spirit in this "trying" time for the Anglican Communion!  But you are right to describe this time as an unfolding of a new reality in the life of the Church.  Thank you for your inspired ministry as Presiding Bishop.

From James Rodgers • Oxford, Ohio, Aug 15, 2008 I wish the Church could get beyond "scripture slinging" at one another.
