The Rev. Mark Harris, a clergy delegate to General Convention, says this about the convention’s wild final morning:
The message back to Canterbury needs to be this: we need you to stick by us. With us, support Katharine in her ministry as Primate. Look at what we have done: we damn near killed ourselves trying to address the Windsor Report and related matters. We put up with being told by English prelates how to act, vote and respond, to the point that stretched our patience and our honor. We internally ripped ourselves apart trying to be true to our claim that we want to continue with the churches of the Anglican Communion.
The media world will move on. But we remain. And the Archbishop’s advisors need to know we are doing all we can, given that we are indeed The Episcopal Church and not another thing.
