February 15 2007 By virtueonline DAR2007: Three American Bishops move into closed session with Schori, Williams

Clearly the press was being misled, or else the press handlers were misled by their own handlers within this over-organized, overly scrupulous press drama. Everything about the Primates' Meeting so far smacks of big news being pre-spun through official channels. Part of the spin is that all this controversy is really nothing.

According to newspaper reports, the Prince of Wales worshipped at the Presbyterian Church and not Christ Church in Old City, which is descended from the Church of England because the Episcopal Church was too small. Christ Church is intimate, and its members would have taken many available seats, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer's Julie Stoiber. The Presbyterian Church seats 1,100 but has far fewer members.

January 26 2007 By virtueonline CHARLESTON, SC: Mere Anglicanism Conference Opens
