Primates Meeting Begins – The Official Photo

The Primates Meeting has begun. If any important business has yet occurred, it is behind the scenes so far.

But Baby Blue has a sharp eye concerning the official photo:

At the last Primates Meeting in Tanzania, Rowan Williams was not able to get a photo of all the primates together before the meeting ended - primarily because a good number of the Anglican primates are in impaired communion with the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church.

We noted that this year the Archbishop of Canterbury is not hedging his bets and got his picture first thing
- before Katharine Jefferts Schori arrives.


(By the way, I’ve looked, without success, for a larger version of the official photo. If anybody finds one, feel free to let me know.)
