More on the Lambeth Invitations

The Episcopal Café continues to do a fine job of collecting news and commentary. See their overnight news summary here. They also carry a report that two other Anglican bishops (Kunonga of Central Africa and Cavalcanti of South America) may not be invited to Lambeth; they print the story here.

Meanwhile, CANA bishop Minns has issued this statement excoriating the Episcopal Church, and Nigerian Archbishop Akinola has declared that the Archbishop's failure to invite +Minns may precipitate a boycott by the entire Nigerian delegation.
