In the News ...

Heading off for a busy day which concludes with a 6pm service at St. Mary's, Putney where +Gene will be the preacher. I understand +Katharine is preaching this morning at Salisbury Cathedral ... will try to get a link up to that later. In the meantime, here's a scan of the UK headlines this morning in "things Anglican":

BBC: The world's first openly gay bishop, whose ordination caused a split in the Anglican church, is to preach to a congregation in London today.

Independent: Gay bishop defies his Lambeth Conference ban Gene Robinson wasn't invited – but he's coming anyway

Associated Press: Pope prays for end to rifts in Anglican church

Telegraph: The Telegraph "Top Ten" Most Influential Anglicans

I noticed that the Bishop of Rome has not deigned to call us anything other than a "community."

Oh thats right ... we aren't really a part of the Church ...

Somewhat sad or somewhat telling that Jesus Christ did not make the top 50 most influential figures. I'll chalk it up to the non-secular press.
