GAFCON SNAFUs

Actually, there are a couple.

First, the blogosphere is abuzz with the news that Archbishop Akinola was denied entry into Jordan.





The first report that came across my email lists seem to have been from this article on David Virtue's Virtue Online. Be aware that David puts a particular spin on his writing that is often disrespectful and quite frequently venemous. Nor is he the most reliable source for news.




The other early report was Ruth Gledhill's, which quoted Virtue Online as her source. In this case, David's story was backed up to a degree by this post on the GAFCON website.

With the pre-"Pilgrimage" planning meeting moved to Jerusalem, Thinking Anglicans provides a good overview of the whole story. They also point out an interesting scheduling glitch. It seems that Jerusalem Pride takes place on June 26th while all those good and faithful orthodox Anglicans are there. All those bishops who are boycotting the Lambeth Conference next month because of the "homosexual issue" are going to be face to face with a whole lot of lbgt folks. Will they be wearing special clothing to protect themselves from gay cooties?

Peace,
Jeffri
