2. The 2004 Windsor Report called upon the Episcopal Church to adopt moratoria on the blessing of same-sex unions and the consecration of any bishop living in a same-sex relationship. Our Convention affirmed these recommendations in November of that year. Now, because the 2006 General Convention failed to do so, the Communique asks the House of Bishops to adopt these moratoria in clear, unequivocal language by Sept. 30, 2007.

True, they name The Windsor Report first and Lambeth 1.10 second. Someone may say: "I can agree with TWR without agreeing to Lambeth 1.10." Well, you may say so, but this is not what the Primates are saying. The Recommendation intentionally couples TWR as the practical outworking of the Lambeth Resolution. Lest there be any doubt about how they read TWR, they include this statement.

The latest attempt by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, at "muddling through" in order to save the Worldwide Anglican Communion from certain doom (a doom precipitated by the liberal wing's pro-homosexual agenda) appears to be another artful attempt by an Englishman to navigate the religious quagmire in order to find a compromise that will satisfy everyone - and save the Communion.

A few clarifying remarks might be helpful. Nepal is a very poor country and most of the pastors came from very poor villages in the mountains of Nepal. Daily life for them was a struggle. Not all could read, but many could. The testimonies that I heard were from people who were either Buddhist or Hindu before they became Christians.
