Gay bishop snubbed by Anglican conference

LONDON (Reuters) - The Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual head of 77 million Anglicans worldwide, has not invited two wayward bishops to a major conference next year, a move likely to stir controversy in the deeply divided communion.

Archbishop Rowan Williams has sent invitations to more than 800 Anglican bishops asking them to attend the Lambeth Conference in July and August 2008, but has not invited two American bishops -- Gene Robinson and Martyn Minns.

Robinson has caused division since he was consecrated as bishop of New Hampshire in 2003, becoming the Anglican Church's first openly gay bishop.

He struggled like me— but he never lost his center. Never dropped his head. Never let life crush him. He didn’t waste time playing it safe. He spoke with fire. And Carmen let him in. While I played nice. While I stayed safe. He reached her. And he lit the spark. That’s the scar: safe will starve you out. Safe men fade away. Men who carry fire awaken the spark within.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." - Einstein In a distant land, there lived a young man named Jack who had big dreams and ambitious plans but couldn't seem to achieve them no matter how hard he tried.
