Bishop Venables: Communion =93Breaking Up Because Nobody is Leading=94
The work of amending the Constitution and Canons of the Southern Cone
in order to regularize the admission of parishes and dioceses beyond
South America is about to begin, according to Presiding Bishop Gregory
Venables. The Primate of the Southern Cone made a visit to the Diocese
of Fort Worth for a series of meetings with clergy and lay leaders May
2-4.
=93The Anglican Communion in the United States has been hijacked,=94
Bishop Venables said, by an Episcopal Church leadership that doesn=92t
=93mind what happens as long as they control it.
=93I am astounded that in America, the land of the free, so many people
have been robbed of their freedom,=94 he said.
Bishop Venables=92 visit began with a private meeting of diocesan clergy
at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Fort Worth on May 2. The
following day, Bishop Venables met with a convocation of elected
clergy and lay delegates to the diocesan convention. The convocation
also included about 130 visitors who were granted seat, but not voice.
There was no voting. On Sunday morning, Bishop Venables preached at
St. Vincent=92s Cathedral, Bedford, and again later during Evensong at
St. Andrew=92s, Fort Worth. At each stop on Sunday he answered questions
from those present.
