I found this statement (made by the SYNOD of the Province of the Anglican Church in South East Asia, meeting in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, 27 – 28 February 2008) to be a very balanced view on the Anglican Lambeth Conference 2008 - which gave, good reasons (in my view) why Global South Bishops should attend the Conference. 

In particular, I think this point (10) should be prayerfully re-considered by other ‘orthodox’ Archbishops and Bishops who are currently not going to this conference:

“10. CONSIDERED the need to provide strong active participation in the discussion and debate on the acceptance and adoption of the proposed Anglican Covenant at Lambeth 2008, and thereafter, to expeditiously and definitively conclude the task of defining and explicating publicly the common standard of faith and order, proper accountability and discipline within the Anglican Communion; ”

What do you think?
