I join Lisa Fox in hopes for your non-judgmental and open-minded acceptance of this process to spread among all bishops.<BR/><BR/>I pray for the continuing unity of the Anglican Communion with recognition that cultural differences need to be accommodated so that all baptised Christians may be free to respect the dignity of every human being.<BR/><BR/>May the Holy Spirit enrich Indaba participation to engender good solutions, and God bless you all for your work at Lambeth.Pat Klemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206542501782835734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675242646813872947.post-14648864587863661482008-07-22T09:32:00.000-05:002008-07-22T09:32:00.000-05:00You wrote: "The purpose, as I understand it, is to...You wrote: <I>"The purpose, as I understand it, is to prevent yes-or-no votes, polarizing statements, winners and losers.

They remind me of exercises we practiced in my meditation training. Of course, this is all based on “being heard” so that there are no misunderstandings. I will continue to pray for you and all the Bishops.
