The Road To Hell Is Paved With Reflections Documents.

I haven't posted on the upcoming Lambeth Conference, the much anticipated once-a-decade meeting of Anglican Communion Bishops because, well, this is about how I expect things to go:


(Once more, from Last of the Few)

This Lambeth Conference, to my mind, is a waste of time. It has been purposely structured so that the one thing the Anglican Communion desperately needs right now - an end to the Current Unpleasantness plaguing our Faith - can not happen. There will be no consensus on what the common mind of our Faith is, or is not - what is right, and what is not - just the thoughts of "Indaba" groups collected into a "Reflections Document." (Yeah, me either.)

Lambeth will be just another chance for the Anglican mitre-wearers to do what they seem to excel at of late - ignoring the huge theological questions before us by saying something so politely undefinable and vague that one can read into it whatever one wants. No doubt our Presiding Bishop, who's skills with indeterminate, New-Age gibberish are legend, will be at the forefront of this effort.
