Trinity Church Wall Street invited bishops from the Episcopal Church and African Anglican Churches to gather for a "consultation to strengthen relationships, develop mission partnerships, and to discover new opportunities to bear witness to the Gospel." Titled "Walking to Emmaus: Discovering New Mission Perspectives in Changing Times," the meeting, sponsored by the Iglesia Episcopal Reformada de Espana, was held in El Escorial, Spain July 21-26. News from Spain seems much more hopeful for the future of the Anglican Communion that that coming from the July 30-31 Anglican Communion Network meeting in Bedford, Texas (see the ACN reports here, and also Katie Sherrod's report).
