I refer to the news report that about 50 bishops indicate that they will boycott all or parts of the Lambeth Conference [TLC, April 26]. Hopefully they will change their decision on this.

However, if not, then this is an insult to the Anglican Communion and ECUSA as well as an embarrassment to us. They deprive themselves of the benefits of this unique gathering and in turn the people of our church.

If they do not attend to their responsibilities and subjugate them to their personal agenda, then they should complete their action by resigning their bishopric and just fade away!
