An Open Letter to the Episcopal & Anglican Bishops at Lambeth
Information was posted on Episcopal Cafe, and to the General Convention listserv, after I posted this here. If you have Internet access, and see any of the three posts, this is an FYI/reminder about a “fringe event” that is scheduled for July 30th.
There are a lot of things going on, so it might get lost in the shuffle.
Here’s a link to a blurb on the Lambeth Conference’s site.
From the Secretary of the Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals (quoted with permission):
“ASWA is having a fringe meeting at the Lambeth Conference on Weds 30th July - 8.00pm - we have Joyce D’Silva from Compassion in World Farming speaking and also the Bishop of Monmouth - Dominic Walker. Do you know of any US Bishops who are attending who might possibly like to come? It is a champagne reception and the speakers are excellent. We are just worried that with the Anglican churches obsession at the moment with the gay issue and the women bishop issue that once again the poor old animals won’t get a look in. I appreciate that any US delegates will already be at Lambeth and there is an advert for the event coming out in the Church Times this week but I just wondered if you had any good contacts who might spread the word?”
Not only do I hope that some of our bishops can attend this special event, but would also like to know who attends, and also to hear their feedback if they do.
If any bishops find this post via the GC post, they are more than welcome to comment below — or privately to ASWA-USA{at}ENAW.ORG. Or, if you’re blogging about Lambeth, could you comment on ASWA’s event on your blog?
Thank you.
