This is interesting: After the Archbishop of Uganda walked out of a meeting seeking common ground among the member provinces of the Anglican Communion, the Episcopalian Church was suspended<\/a> from full participation in the Communion for 3-years.<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear from early reports whether that was the price of the Archbishop’s return, or if he left without returning because he thought that action was too lenient.<\/p>\n

Well … ho-hum. Am I the only one who recalls Ozymandias<\/i> when these stories grab the headlines?<\/p>\n

\n

\nI met a traveller from an antique land,
\nWho said\u2014\u201cTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
\nStand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
\nHalf sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
\nAnd wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
\nTell that its sculptor well those passions read
\nWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
\nThe hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
\nAnd on the pedestal, these words appear:
\nMy name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
\nLook on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
\nNothing beside remains. Round the decay
\nOf that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
\nThe lone and level sands stretch far away.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
