RUMOR: ABC to Resign?
A strategic source has informed me that rumors are swirling regarding the potential resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury (ABC) Rowan Williams. Not sure of the reason that he will give but I'm sure it is over the failure of his leadership. He was unable to convince The Episcopal Church (TEC) to not ordain a controversial bishop which has led to open schism in TEC and the Anglican Communion. Two of the four Instruments of Unity within the Anglican Communion, namely, the role of the ABC and the decennial Lambeth conference (happening this week) are now broken. Rumor also has it that this week's Lambeth Conference is in a financial mess. He now faces mutiny within the Church of England with Anglo-Catholics threatening to leave en masse over the recent vote in favor of female Bishops. Rowan Williams appears to have lost the favor of both liberals and conservatives. He frequently uses a lot of words to say very, very little. Church history textbooks will not be kind to him. |
