Good Decisions to Attend Under normal circumstances, it matters little which bishops will be attend­ ing the Lambeth Conference. This once-a-decade gathering of Anglican bish­ ops has in the past included nearly all of those who were invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury. But these are not normal circumstances. When the bishops gather in Canterbury July 16-Aug. 4, there will be some notable absences - particularly by those who espouse conservative theology. The announcements that the bishops of Fort Worth and Pittsburgh, and the Presiding Bishop of the Southern Cone, will go to Lambeth [TLC,May 25] are both noteworthy and encouraging. Unlike some of the African primates, who have stated they and the bishops of their provinces will not go to Lambeth, Bishops Jack Iker of Fort Worth and Robert Duncan and Henry Scriven of Pitts­ burgh will be present. By being in attendance at Lambeth, these bishops and others will ensure that if discussions take place about the future of the Anglican Communion , their perspective will be heard. If they chose not to go in support of their absent brothers , the voices of traditional Anglican- ism would be mostly silent. When the bishops gather Bishops Iker, Duncan and Scriven and Presiding Bishop have made a good decision. Even though in Canterbury, there will be they are likely to be vilified for the stances they take, they also are likely to deliver a message that needs to be heard. some notable absences - particularly by those who espouse conservative theology. Time to Decide? Cardinal Walter Kasper, the head of the Church's Pontifi­ cal Council for Christian Unity, had some puzzling words for Anglicans recently. When he delivered the annual Newman Lecture in Oxford, the car­ dinal said it is time for Anglicans to decide whether they are catholic or protes­ tant [p. 6]. "Ultimately, it is a question of the identity of the Anglican Church. Where does it belong?," he said. "Does it belong more to the churches of the first millennium - (Roman) Catholic and (Eastern) Orthodox - or does it belong more to the protestant churches of the 16th century?" The questions posed by the cardinal are similar to those Anglicans have asked themselves for years, but why now? Anglicans have held to a for more than 400 years . Why is now the time to decide? One can only guess that Cardinal Kasper is suggesting that the topic would be a good one for discussion at the Lambeth Conference, for he has been invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make a presentation at that event. Or perhaps the Roman Catholic Church is examining its ecumenical relationships and wants to determine the direction in which the Anglican Communion may be headed. The timing of the cardinal's questions is not helpful. Anglicans are being asked to choose from other options these days. Is the the inspired word of God or is it something else? Should we be part of the Anglican Com­ munion or not? And for Episcopalians, should we be part of The Episcopal Church or another Anglican body? Anglicans have never looked at issues on an "either-or" basis . It's been more a matter of "both-and," and most Angli­ cans are comfortable with that. Cardinal Kasper may not like the answer, but if a response comes forward at all, it's likely to be "both." Being both catholic and protestant is one of the things that makes us Anglicans, and most peo­ ple, even if they lean in one direction or the other, probably want to keep it that way.
