Williams' Address to the ACC
The Archbishop of Canterbury's address to the Anglican Consultative Council is required reading for every Episcopalian. It is brilliant and most profound. I printed it up and with #2 pencil in hand spent three very large and very strong cups of coffee reading, marking, learning, and inwardly digesting.
I will comment in time, but right now I am in a ruminant mood.
One caution: I started reading the Address with the same hermeneutic of suspicion bifocals that I read anything from Frank Griswold or (supremely) the House of Bishops. Just receive his words and let them sink in. There are times that Williams' text seems nuanced. But it is not because he is being clever or cute, but because he is trying to go deep.
