Network Strengthens Resolve at Pittsburgh Conference
11/16/2005

The Anglican Communion Network promised to make the road to the 2008 Lambeth Conference of bishops an increasingly problematic one unless the Episcopal Church starts paying more attention to the recommendations contained in the Windsor Report.

More than 2,300 clergy and laity and 20 bishops of the Episcopal Church heard impassioned talk from an eclectic series of speakers that included author-pastor Rick Warren and seven Global South primates. The Nov. 10-12 “Hope and a Future” conference in Pittsburgh also included the ordinations of one priest and three deacons by the Bishop of Bolivia to serve ministries in the United States.

“We are going to do what we can to help [the leadership of the Episcopal Church] talk about the Windsor Report,” the Rt. Rev. Robert W. Duncan, Bishop of Pittsburgh and moderator of the network, told The Living Church after the closing Eucharist. “We would love for them to commit to the Windsor Report, but we don’t think that is at all likely. The truth, then, is that we have no choice but to listen to what the Primate of Nigeria has said that you are going to have to make a choice.”
