PB reflects, Primates expound: video from the Primates meeting

In this two minute clip, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says the Primates Meeting in Dublin was "wonderful" and "filled with grace." She said the Primates have arrived at a clear sense of how they will work together, and that she hopes the primates who boycotted this meeting will "come back to the table."

The Primates news conference is wide ranging, and about half an hour long. ENS's coverage is here.

Thoughts?

Despite rave reviews from participants, including the PB, Anglicans should remain very tentative and cautious about, and keep a critical eye on, the Primates as a so called "instrument of Communion". Does the most recent meeting indicate a kinder gentler kind of Primatial gathering, or was it just a good meeting of a relatively bad idea? The trend towards a hierarchical ecclessiology remains. No one who is interested in a church based on the notion of the whole people of God, or an Anglicanism that is synodical ought to be singing the Te Deum after Dublin.
