US Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has ridiculed the Jerusalem Declaration released by the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem. In a June 30 statement Bishop Schori said “much of the Anglican world must be lamenting the latest emission from Gafcon.”

She added that the participants in the June 21-29 held a parochial view of Anglicanism, which had “always been broader than some find comfortable.” The Gafcon statement was about power she argued, and was “merely another chapter in a centuries-old struggle for dominance by those who consider themselves the only true believers.”

A lot of us are of the thinking that GAFCON did nothing…

Mostly we have a situation where the disenchanted made their already-known disenchantment more known…

All the drama for what?
