Bishop Duncan, Another Bishop Will Attend Primates' Meeting
01/25/2007

Invitations to the primates’ meeting next month in Tanzania, in the form of a draft agenda, propose setting aside Wednesday, Feb. 14 in order to hear from others, including two bishops of The Episcopal Church. The invitations were emailed by a member of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' staff within the past few days.

Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan has accepted an invitation which was made to him earlier this week, according to a source who wished to remain anonymous. The identity of the second bishop of The Episcopal Church could not be confirmed at the time of publication.

Unlike Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, who usually attended primates’ meetings with one or more staff members, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will not have any aides present. Bob Williams and Matt Davies will be present as working journalists for Episcopal News Service. The Rev. George Conger will report from the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam, for The Living Church. It is expected that a number of other media representatives will also be reporting on location.
