Robinson Defies Orders, Attends Anglican Conference
From the Advocate:
Gene Robinson, the first openly gay U.S. Episcopal bishop, was barred from a once-a-decade Anglican meeting so he wouldn't become a focus of the global event. Anglicans on all sides of the issue agree: The strategy has backfired. Click here for the rest of the article: http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid57628.asp Rick

Bishop Robinson stands and acts in full accord with his convictions and seeks to keep the communion inclusive. Many of the traditionalists not only favor a literal reading of convenient parts of scripture, but also employ all kinds of dissimulation and recklessness with the "truth" (was that non-judgmental enough?). Rowan Williams stands ready to acquiese to all manner of traditionalist diatribe and appease those who would tell the Anglican communion to take a hike.
Who is more Christ-like?

Oi! The article's good, though the headline stinks.
+Gene didn't 'defy orders'. The Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't have the authoritative power to 'order' Bishops from another Province to do anything. Instead++Rowan didn't invite +Gene to the conference, which only served to single him out, since he's a duly elected/consecrated Bishop and certainly qualified for an invite. And technically, +Gene isn't attending the conference. He's visiting the locale around the conference, at the invite of some Church of England clergy and Bishops. It's clear though that ++Rowan's decision not to invite +Gene, in order to downplay his significance, has seriously backfired. The blogger MadPriest has posted about the recent BBC interview with +Gene and Sir Ian McKellen, and has included video of the interview. Check it out here. MadPriest has also posted the video of the heckler interrupting +Gene's sermon this past Sunday. Pax, scott
