David Virtue is one of the Anglican Mainstream journalists attending the Lambeth Conference. Like most of the other journalists he is exceedingly frustrated at the lack of access to Bishops to hear their views. He wrote this about yesterday's press conference.
"The press conference today was all about Millennium Development Goals, the favorite pastime of aging social-activist liberal bishops. I raised my hand on several occasions, but got blown off publicly by Aspinall and denied the right to ask the obvious question: HAVE MDG’S REPLACED THE GREAT COMMISSION? So I asked around after the press conference and everyone I spoke to said "Yes of course they have." So if you want to know what sort of theology the liberals have to make churches grow and prosper in the 21st Century, the answer is nothing. Western liberal Protestantism will continue to wither and die, while Global South evangelicalism will continue to thrive and prosper. MDGs were the brain- child of the United Nations. The Anglican Communion has now adopted them as its new salvific mantra."
