Well I have to say...The Archbishop of Canterbury is universally admired for his intellectual stature and his personal warmth. In his time as Archbishop, the Anglican Communion has been subjected to unprecedented stresses which have hastened an inevitable tendency to regional independence and decentralisation. With the majority of Anglicans now from theologically conservative churches of the Global South, the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the future will demand a deepening appreciation of their place in the Communion
And Peter I have to say...The Archbishop of Sydney is universally admired for his entrepreneural skills and his nepotism. In his time as Archbishop, the Sydney Anglican Diocese has been subjected to unprecedented financial losses of such magnitude that has hastened an inevitable tendency to tax individual parishes to pay for the continuance of the failed mission. With the majority of Anglicans now from theologically conservative churches of the Global South, the role of the Archbishop of Sydney in the future will demand a deepening appreciation of the place of homophobia in the Communion.
It will be difficult to conceive of the Anglican Communion after such a monumental intellectual as Mr Jensen is put into an Old Folks Home. There will be universal rejoicing after the Head of the Family Firm no longer has the power to appoint cronies, uncles, brothers and house-elves. Hopefully, his Sydney Mission will close down.
