- Notes
- "The secretary general of the Anglican Communion, the Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon, announced at a press conference at General Synod 2010 that he had informed members of The Episcopal Church that their memberships in ecumenical dialogues have been withdrawn." "This action follows on the heels of the May 28 [2010] Pentecost Letter to the Anglican Communion by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. The letter was sent in response to the election and confirmation of Suffragan Bishop Mary Glasspool, a partnered lesbian, in the diocese of Los Angeles." "'The hope was that the gracious restraint would hold until the Covenant was in place', said Canon Kearon. He went on to say that the actions taken were 'fairly minimal'. He added, 'We've asked them to be consultants and we would hope that they would participate in the conversations'. Archbishop Fred Hiltz said the proposed sanction would not apply to the Anglican Church of Canada because neither its General Synod nor its House of Bishops have authorized same-sex blessings on a national level".
