In an article written for The Living Church, http://tinyurl.com/4l57exd the Rev. Dr. Peter Carrell of the Diocese of Christchurch, in the Anglican Church of New Zealand, opines that the non attendance of eleven orthodox primates in the Anglican Communion in Dublin, later this month, amounts to nothing and "in ten years or so, all will be well again."
Perhaps it is because the Rev. Carrell lives in far off NZ, has never attended a Primates meeting, a CAPA meeting, has never met or talked with orthodox archbishops like Henry Orombi (Uganda) or Nicholas Okoh, (Nigeria), has not seen what Archbishop Robert Duncan has gone through, (it was Duncan who said orthodox Episcopalians would have been exterminated if they had not left TEC), has never met an ACNA bishop nor seen the devastating impact that theologically revisionist bishops like Jack Spong and the takeover of the Episcopal Church by a handful of politically correct pansexualists has done, that he can write the nonsense he does from the safety and distance of NZ. (In NZ only one diocese - Nelson - is remotely orthodox, the rest rolled over a long time ago.)
