Too many of the media representatives on site have been behaving in a less than honorable manner. Swapping cards with unknown individuals, comprmising the safety of the bishops gathered and pretending to ignore -and, when unsucessful, distort the reality of- the organizational devices in place are only a few of what I’d complain about.

To put it briefly: some of the media here at Lambeth has become a source of safety concerns for those involved in organizing the conference and therefore entrusted with the safety of those gathered. Shame on them.

Yes, I’m on “staff” as one of the official photographers. Nice job on memorizing the complicated lanyard color scheme!

No one has said anything to me about what I can or can’t blog about. There are a number of bishops, staff, and stewards here blogging — and I suspect you’ll find a range of opinion. What I write here is what I choose to write, unfettered by Lambeth Palace or anyone else.

My aim on 7WD is to provide a bit of flavor for what it’s like here — and to have a bit of fun. One of the great sins of the church (and of the media, by coincidence) is that we take ourselves far too seriously.

“Debunking the mainstream media” is a interesting view of Public Relations. Your red lanyard indicates that you are a staff member. so while you are at the conference you can only give a positive spin. Or am I being unfair?

Lambeth: first Friday…

First, the Church Times has a news report by Bill Bowder Bishops rally behind Dr Williams as Conference starts. And there is a leading article Bishops should do their duty: …A key constituency, though, is the conservative one. The loss……
