The ferment will be down the road at York University where the General Synod of the Church of England meets over the next few days. It will be interesting to hear the tone and content of the speech by a representative of the Anglican Communion and to note how it is received. The situation in Uganda, the reaction of the Communion to proposed blessings for individuals in same sex marriages and the development of GAFCON doubtless will exercise minds and stir emotions. There is a motion in the name of a prominent Conservative Evangelical calling on the Archbishop of Canterbury to resign. The Bishop of London is invited to answer a question on how the Church defines female same-sex sexual acts! It all makes the England v. Australia contest look like a minor skirmish. The real battle is at York.
