While we do not know that ++York speaks for ++Canterbury, his words are consistent with both the words and the actions of Lambeth Palace and Anglican Communion Office since Dar. I think this serves as further evidence that there will be no discipline of the Episcopal Church and that the threat revealed is a real one.

Archbishop warns Anglican conservatives
By Jonathan Petre

The Archbishop of York has warned conservative Anglican leaders that they will effectively expel themselves from the worldwide Church if they boycott next year’s Lambeth Conference.
 
Dr John Sentamu said the conservatives risked severing themselves from the Anglican Communion

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Dr John Sentamu pleaded with them to attend the conference despite their war with liberals over homosexuality.

But he told them that if they “voted with their feet” they risked severing their links with the Archbishop of Canterbury and with historic Anglicanism, a breach that could take centuries to heal.

“Anglicanism has its roots through Canterbury,” he said. “If you sever that link you are severing yourself from the Communion. There is no doubt about it.”

The archbishop’s outspoken comments will dismay conservatives, who blame the liberals for bringing the Church to the brink of schism by consecrating Anglicanism’s first openly gay bishop in 2003.

...

So I am hoping that my brothers and sisters, whatever they are trying to set out, will come to the Lambeth Conference.”

Dr Sentamu, a close ally of Dr Williams, said that as long as Anglican bishops did not deny the basic Christian doctrines they should all be able to remain within the same Church.

While liberal north Americans disagreed with conservatives over sexual ethics, these were not core issues, he said.
