Ruth Gledhill of The Times blogs:
It is yet possible that Dr Rowan Williams, in putting the Gospel mandate for unity before or else including his own one-time liberalism on the gay issue, met yet triumph. And then I think it relevant to ask, where next? Could it be that this mild-mannered Archbishop has a mission for unity which reaches far beyond the Anglican shores and its 78 million adherents? I ask this, having just read and written about the first agreed statement from Iarccum, the International Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission. The 42-page report is called Growing Together in Unity and Mission. It is not available online yet as it is still being considered by the Vatican. I’ve reproduced a few pars below. As ecumenical reports go, it is something of a stunner.
