Each province of the Global South was invited to bring a delegation to this Encounter.  The delegation was to be made up of the Archbishop, if there is one elected, bishops, priests and laity.  The emphasis was for a larger number of bishops than laity, because the importance the House of Bishops’ meetings have in the Global South.  As of late this afternoon, the following people have arrived in Singapore for the 4th Anglican Global South to South Encounter:

News Analysis

The slow moving train wreck of the Anglican Communion picked up speed today with the announcement that the Archbishop of Uganda Henry Luke Orombi has asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to disinvite the primates of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada to the next Primates Meeting.  [tentatively scheduled for February, 2011]

In a hard hitting letter to Archbishop Rowan Williams, the Ugandan evangelical archbishop wrote saying that the next meeting of the Primates should not include the Primates of The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada who, he said, are proceeding with unbiblical practices that contradict the faith of Anglicanism.

“We cannot carry on with business as usual until order is brought out of this chaos,” he told Dr. Williams.

It is clear that the Anglican Communion is crumbling and will escalate even further when a lesbian Episcopal bishop is consecrated next month in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

The Archbishop’s letter was clear, unambiguous, and inspired by Archbishop Anis’s letter of resignation, Orombi said.

“Together with Bishop Mouneer, I am equally concerned, as you know, about the shift in the balance of powers among the Instruments of Communion. It was the Primates in 2003 who requested the Lambeth Commission on Communion that ultimately produced the Windsor Report. It was the Primates who received the Windsor Report at our meeting in Dromantine in 2005. It was the Primates, through our Dromantine Communique, who presented the appropriate ‘hermeneutic’ through which to read the Windsor Report. That ‘hermeneutic,’ however, has been obscured by the leadership at St. Andrew’s House who somehow created something we never envisioned called the ‘Windsor Process.’

“The Windsor Report was not a ‘process.’   It was a Report, commissioned by the Primates and received by the Primates. The Primates made specific and clear requests of TEC and the Anglican Church of Canada. When TEC, particularly, did not clearly answer our questions, we gave them more time in 2007 to clarify their position.”

Suddenly, though, after the 2007 Primates Meeting in Dar es Salaam, the Primates no longer had a role to play in the very process they had begun.

ACC Hijacks Communion

The process was mysteriously transferred to the Anglican Consultative Council and, more particularly, to the Joint Standing Committee. The Joint Standing Committee has now evolved into the “Standing Committee.” Some suggest that it is the Standing Committee “of the Anglican Communion.”

There is, however, no “Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion”. The Standing Committee has never been approved in its present form by the Primates Meeting or the Lambeth Conference. “Rather, it was adopted by itself, with your approval and the approval of the ACC. The fact that five Primates are included in no way represents our Anglican understanding of the role of Primates as metropolitan bishops of their provinces.   Read more…
