As for the conversation, there is scheduled for this November a consultation across the Porvoo Churches, Lutheran and Anglican, on the Church's doctrine of marriage. I would be surprised if this did not touch upon the question of same sex marriage. Best wishes.

To the best of your knowledge, has the conversation you were talking about above within the Porvoo Communion happened (or even been setup)?Peter Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653736283239812968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874580216515087471.post-87097202195767018722011-08-19T08:14:31.645+01:002011-08-19T08:14:31.645+01:00these are not bishops but a jokethese are not bishops but a jokeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874580216515087471.post-84017173257366435212009-12-07T20:38:44.925+00:002009-12-07T20:38:44.925+00:00hospitalera,

There were some Lutheran Churches which did not have a bishop attending the consecration either, so the discussion to be had is across the board, not simply along Anglican-Lutheran lines. In terms of the text of the agreement, there was no specific reference to who may or may not be ordained bishop. However, there is reference to interchangeability being determined by the regulations of each Church. Of course, with the present rules of the C of E, that means that Bishop Brunne would not be permitted to officiate in the C of E on account of being a woman. I feel that before any specific alteration in any agreement is made, the signatory churches need to sit down and review this development. That has not happened yet.David Hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483724916701076899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874580216515087471.post-64550733715776773442009-11-12T01:22:36.850+00:002009-11-12T01:22:36.850+00:00that there were no Anglican bishops there is a sha...that there were no Anglican bishops there is a shame.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945343859290558131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874580216515087471.post-18796132892002501402009-11-11T13:26:53.784+00:002009-11-11T13:26:53.784+00:00David,
