I guess someone at ENS decided to take a three-day weekend or something because here’s what Simon Sarmiento actually meant to say about Bob Duncan’s recent visit to London:

Former Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan, who was [not legally] deposed from the episcopate last month, has warned traditionalists in the Church of England that, in his view, what [has not legally] happened to him could happen to them.

Duncan spoke to journalists at a press conference on October 17 at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, chaired by Canon Chris Sugden of Anglican Mainstream. Duncan was [not] deposed on September 19 by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori with the consent of [nowhere near the canonically-required number of] the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church. Duncan was charged with “abandonment of communion” for his actions in thoughts of openly [approving of the idea of] planning to remove removing his diocese from the Episcopal Church to align with the South America-based Province of the Southern Cone.

Glad to help, Simon.

The bit I found most interesting is

Noting that the GAFCON primates planned to meet again before the end of 2008, Duncan said that the Common Cause Partnership, which he said now includes 30 bishops, 800 clergy, 700 parishes and about 100,000 regular Sunday worshippers, would submit a proposal for such a province to them. The official meeting of Primates (a title given leading archbishops or presiding bishops of the Anglican Communion’s provinces) will be held early in 2009. The Anglican Consultative Council, which consists of lay and clergy representatives of the provinces, will meet in May 2009.
