Regarding the #LambethConference, I am trying to get my mind around the idea that @justinwelby or someone in his orbit thought it was morally justifiable and politically practical … 1/
To put a married gay bishop (Kevin Robertson) on the drafting group for the #LambethCall on Human Dignity, then insert the reaffirmation of a hateful, divisive resolution (Lambeth 1.10 of 1998) into the document after the call left the drafting group … 2/
And then expect that either Bishop Robertson would not remark on this egregious violation of his trust, or that no one would care if he did.

Whether this is malice or incompetence, it can't stand. 3/3

.⁦@JustinWelby⁩ has some explaining to do. Bishop Kevin Robertson, was a member of the group that drafted the controversial #LambethCall on Human Dignity. It never included a call to reaffirm the homophobic Lambeth 1.10. He doesn’t recognize it. 1/ facebook.com/684821280/post…
He writes: “I never agreed to this Call in its current form. At no point in our meetings did we discuss the reaffirmation of Lambeth 1.10 at the Conference, and it never appeared in any of the early drafts of our work together.” 2/
“I can confidently say that the Human Dignity Call in its current form does not represent the mind of the drafting group, and I distance myself from the reaffirmation of Lambeth 2.10 in the strongest possible ways.” 3/

Three cheers for @azbishop who isn’t taking what Justin Welby is handing out about the #LambethConference.

The Lambeth Calls for Whom? conta.cc/3Pw5nVb
“Receiving this document so late means that many of us are already in Europe; many of us have not had the time to truly read and study the Lambeth Calls; and there is no opportunity for reflection—or much organizing—before the Conference begins.” 1/
“It is hard not to assume that this is intentional. And it has left a poor taste in my mouth as I prepare for Lambeth. There ought to be no deceit in following Christ.” 2/
