Want to follow what’s going on at the Episcopal Church’s House of Bishops meeting in New Orleans?
Here’s a series of “links to bloggers”:http://www.kendallharmon.net/t19/index.php/t19/article/6076/#more who are providing live coverage (thanks to Kendall Harmon’s TitusOneNine blog).
And here’s a fresh post from one of the bloggers listed, “BabyBlueCafe”:http://babybluecafe.blogspot.com/ (who is in the media room):
One of the bishops just popped into the newsroom and a small group of us gathered around and he told us what has been going on inside the House of Bishops. They’ve spent the morning talking to Rowan Williams who is listening and taking notes as the American bishops speak. Gene Robinson is seated in the center of the room. Katharine Jefferts Schori and Ed Little are moderating the discussion. One of the major issues of contention by the American bishops was on the topic of “border crossing” which of course means they are complaining about the work of the Global South in providing refuge and pastoral care for the Episcopalian laity and clergy who are in crisis. Also learned that there are at least four different statements/resolutions and Schori has appointed a drafting committee that will meet over the weekend.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
