Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will make a presentation addressing the world’s economic crisis during a panel discussion broadcast live over the internet on July 8, the opening night of General Convention in Anaheim, Calif.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and Bonnie Anderson, president of the House of Deputies, will be hosts for the event, to be called “Christian Faithfulness in the Global Economic Crisis.” The forum is scheduled to begin at 9:15 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time.
Bishop Jefferts Schori will share her perspective on the economic crisis and interview Archbishop Williams. Following the Archbishop of Canterbury’s presentation, Mrs. Anderson will moderate a panel discussion to include: Stephen Dzisi, technical director for NetsforLife, an Episcopal Relief and Development program partnership focused on malaria prevention in Africa; Sarah Eagle Heart, program officer for Native American/Indigenous Ministries; and Michael Schut, economic and environmental affairs officer for the church and an environmental activist.

He would do better addressing the crisis in the Anglican church and the apostasy in the Episcopal Church and leave the economic issues to the officials at the various federal reserves located throughout the world.
The use of smoke and mirrors to divert the attention of the Anglican Communion away from the troubles of his own church is typical of little people lost in a world larger than they.
At last we now have the formation of the one true Anglican church in North America, no matter what Jefferts Schori and he think. Jeremiah spoke of the Lord's feelings about the shepherds leading his flock astray, and His coming to lead them back to the fold. A new archbishop is now in a place of leadership in the church, thanks be to God.
I agree with the previous post for two reasons.
First, Archbishop Williams is certainly out of his area of expertise in addressing economic issues. Give me a break, focus on the Church.
Second, and most importantly, he needs to focus on the wayward ways of The Episcopal Church. They are long overdue for a line in the sand. As leader of the Anglican Communion he needs to quit pandering to the social radicals who have taken control of TEC.
This week's actions in Plano provide a legitimate option for Christian Episcopalians to retain their faith and practice at the same time. The Church is dead. Long live the Church!
