I dont personally think this is a good thing but there we are.It will be interesting to see who emerges..plenty of scope I think for deadlock and the emergence of a compromise candidate, esp if various groups ( esp the Canterbury diocesan group act in a united way throughout)So far it would appear the diocesan members usually get the man they want.

The primates have an opportunity to elect someone to represent the wider Anglican Communion, and they choose the Archbishop of Wales?? What about an African primate, where most of the world's Anglicans live? Honestly, there is no point having a Communion representative on the CNC, with or without voting rights, if they select another British representative. That's like selecting Quade Cooper in a World XV against the All Blacks. Officially, he's from somewhere else, but we all know he's basically one of them.Andrew Reidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-16026102291877505772012-05-13T02:34:21.176+12:002012-05-13T02:34:21.176+12:00"Remember..he doesnt have a vote."
He s..."Remember..he doesnt have a vote."<br /><br />He scarcely has a church either. The tiny Anglican Church in Wales (smaller than any African diocese) has been shedding members with ever greater rapidity under Morgan's watch. And he passionately wants a gay bishop! Won't somebody help?<br />The "email vote" inspires all the confidence of an election day in Chicago.<br />But it probably means that the Africans no longer care about Canterbury. A matter best left to England's first colony, boyo.<br /><br />MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-12874948759886081372012-05-12T05:14:29.533+12:002012-05-12T05:14:29.533+12:00ya thats true butall the apointing commetiee membe...ya thats true butall the apointing commetiee members as well as the applicants should have the knowledge of the job or work deeply.forex robothttp://www.mellyforex.com/forex-robots/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-42049640293682009212012-05-11T22:50:06.094+12:002012-05-11T22:50:06.094+12:00Remember..he doesnt have a vote.
