Archbishop Foley Beach told us here, that he was given the opportunity to vote during the Primates’ gathering but declined:
He said, however: “I did not vote when it came to the Episcopal Church. In my conscience I didn’t feel that that was appropriate. I’m not part of the official Anglican structures yet, although I’m in communion with provinces that represent the majority of the Anglican Communion.
“They basically gave out pieces of paper when it was time to vote, and I just refused it.”
Yet, on the Primates2016 site, we are being told:
Statement on votes given to Primates at the meeting in Canterbury 17 Jan 2016
On those occasions when the discussion required Primates to privately record a preference or a decision, slips were informally distributed around the tables and then collected. Apart from when the meeting agreed the agenda at the start, it was made clear to Archbishop Foley Beach that it would not be appropriate for him to take part and he was not invited to do so. Given the spirit of the meeting at all times, it is unfortunate that this is misrepresented in recent reports.
And the Director of Communications for the Church of England is insisting:
Someone is lying.
An unsigned statement. How curious.
Just further proof that the Anglican Communion is fractured and the ABC continues to sit on the side of the apostates despite his claim that he would like to resolve the conflicts. There is only two ways for the conflict can be resolved:-
1. excommunicate the apostates — the TEC and the ACoC unless they are prepared to repent; or
2. permanently split the communion with the orthodox being the true Communion and the apostates continue in their worship of “political correctness” — a totally deceptive term designed to cover up sinful practices.
I do hope the GAFCon primates do not let this ride and force the issue with the Abp of Canterbury. They can’t allow all the spin by the revisionists to go unchallenged.
