Morning round-up

Episcope has a good collection of stories on yesterday's communique from the Primates Meetingin Dar es Salaam.

Note that some papers are buying the "ban" blessings line of thinking, and others understand that we are being asked to refrain from authorizing Rites of Blessings. The difference is signficant, but I am having an awfully hard time explaining it to people. In an nutshell, you don't need an authorized rite to bless a union. Priests have been blessing unions without authorized rites for three decades. So we can continue that practice without running afoul of the communique.

Says me, anyway.
