I have a suggestion that might prove highly salubrious for the Anglican Communion. Since moratoria are so very popular, here's mine.
All primates will stay home and shut the fuck up on all matters, orally or in writing, in public and in private, with the sole exception of preaching on Micah 6.8 and the New Commandment, until Lambeth 2028 [sic].
The time they save may be profitably spent in meditation and in community service.
This moratorium applies to their ghost writers.
Superglue may be applied where needed to assist them with this discipline.
I believe this suggestion has much to commend it and I anticipate that, if followed, it might lead to an explosion of grace and the sanctification of the faithful.
Update:
In an e-mail to a friend I included these comments:
I will be even-handed and include +Katherine with the rest of them as part of our gracious sacrifice for the larger good. Of course, +Rowan's book production would be cut off for almost two decades but surely he has enough royalties from his past efforts. Think of the trees saved![Note: I think the PB is fabulous, but we have to play fair and this seems in the spirit of that voluntary fasting she encouraged.]
My proposal would also help reduce the Anglican carbon footprint by ending all that jetting about the globe to plot. They could still froth at the mouth but only at home and in silence.
