According to a recent article from the Church of England Newspaper:

Despite the dire, yet untrue, predictions leaked about the Windsor report prior to its publication, One of Anglicanism's most senior leaders has now signalled that the American Church is never likely to face discipline for its decision to consecrate the Anglican Communion's first practising gay bishop.

It was the Irish Primate,himself, Archbishop Robin Eames, who warned that the Communion's conservative provinces should not expect calls to be answered for the American Church and the diocese of New Westminster, which authorised same-sex blessing rites, to be punished.

Archbishop Eames, the Chair of the Lambeth Commission, would rather have the church look to the future so he urged the warring factions to avoid recriminations saying: "I would welcome decisions [at February's Primates' meeting] more if they're directed to how we deal with the nature of Communion rather than reiterating 'they did something wrong' or 'they didn't express regret'".

"I think we need to move on in terms of what have we learned from this," he said, "I'm a great believer in trying to learn the lessons of these things. I think we must move on."

The Primates of the Global South continue to demanded the expulsion of the American Church and the New Westminster diocese in Canada if they refuse to repent for their actions.

The Windsor Report asked only that the parties concerned express regret for the consequences of their actions.

"Expulsion was one of the things that confronted us," Archbishop Eames said. "We didn't fudge the issues, but I have to be a realist and recognise that maybe there won't be expressions of regret."

The African Church is preparing a structure for separation from the West.

1. It has planned to build more of its own theological colleges.
2. Its Primates have vowed to continue crossing provincial boundaries.

Archbishop Eames said that although the homosexuality crisis had changed the Anglican Church, plans are afoot at the meeting of Primates in February to start attempts at implementing the Windsor Report.

These are some of his remarks:

"We're going to have to take some decisions on some of the proposals on the Windsor Report. The Council of Advice, [for example], needs to be looked at. We'll need to see if people have moved on in their thinking from the positions that they took up before the Windsor Report was published."

"I'd have hoped that what the report has drawn attention to will provide a clearer roadmap as to how to deal with other differences that arise in the future. Those differences are going to come as the world develops and the Church develops and the Communion develops. There are going to be issues that will divide."

"I don't think the Anglican Communion will ever be quite the same again, but I can't foresee what it's going to be. I think there will be a sense in which people will still want to be Anglicans, the question of how they relate to one another remains to be seen. If people feel that they can't be part of this process of reconciliation then we have to see what situation that creates for the rest. But I don't know if there'll ever be a time drawn for this."
