ORTHODOX PRIMATES REFUSE JOINT EUCHARIST WITH GRISWOLD

"NEWRY, Northern Ireland (2/21/2005)--A winter chill that brought flurries of snow to Ireland yesterday also blew through the assembled archbishops of the Anglican Communion meeting at the Dromantine Center, a Roman Catholic monastic retreat where 35 Primates, leaders of 78 million Anglicans are gathered, to weigh their future together as a communion."

"The chill turned icy when orthodox primates of the Global South refused to celebrate the Eucharist in the presence of ultra-liberal American Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold. As a result Irish Primate Robin Eames announced that his chaplain would offer Eucharist and be the celebrant to anyone who wanted it. None of the Global South bishops showed up."

"We would not celebrate the Eucharist at the same altar with Griswold," a Primate told VirtueOnline."
