[Anglican Mainstream] 30 Oct 2007--With reference to your letter of October 17 inviting us to comment on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s recent and urgent request of you, The Episcopal Diocese of Utah Bishop, Deputation, Diocesan Council, Standing Committee and Diocesan Convention make the following recommendation in the next steps part of the request: We urge you to ask the Archbishop to cancel the Lambeth Conference for 2008.

The Communion is in such disarray over who recognizes who, and the participation of irregularly consecrated bishops, that little good can come from the fragmented gatherings sure to take place at the Conference, and even attendance at common worship is unlikely.
