This article contains a very interesting interview of Gregory Venables (the only primate at GAFCON who said he would attend Lambeth.)
I find it refreshing to read someone representing a view with which I can agree (bar the equivalence of the American mistake and the mistake of not attending Lambeth)!
I agree. I am cheering for the conservatives who have gone to Lambeth. The Sudanese bishops for instance have just released a statement that says this:
The unity of the Anglican Communion is of profound importance to us as an expression of our unity within the Body of Christ. It is not something we can treat lightly or allow to be fractured easily. Our unity expresses the essential truth of the Gospel that in Christ we are united across different tribes, cultures, and nationalities. We have come to attend the Lambeth Conference, despite the decision of others to stay away, to appeal to the whole Anglican Communion to uphold our unity and to take the necessary steps to safeguard the precious unity of the Church.
There's a video of the Archbishop of Sudan and some other comments on my blog:
