Secretary-general hints at `difficulties´ with Dr Williams
by a staff reporter
DISQUIET at the attitude of Dr Williams to the Episcopal Church in the United States (ECUSA) is shared by the secretary-general of the Anglican Communion, Canon Kenneth Kearon, it was revealed this week.
Last week, the Bishop of Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, the Rt Revd Paul Marshall, criticised the Archbishop for cold-shouldering the Episcopal Church (News, 19 January). The relationship was "distant, confused, and multiply triangulated", wrote Bishop Marshall.
In an unguarded email to Louis Crewe, who runs the pro-gay Integrity organisation in the US, Canon Kearon writes that he had sent Bishop Marshall´s criticism to Dr Williams.
"Sadly, it´s very accurate, and is almost the script for a very difficult meeting
I had with him last Wednesday," he writes. "We discussed absolute limits of appeasement, and also how a future direction might be identified."
More cryptically, he ends his email: "Advisers (and sadly I´m not one of them) are at the heart of this."
