The electronic version gets wiped, the hard copy gets lost in the post, or wrongly filed by the new junior in the episcopal office ("She only joined us in 1936")<BR/><BR/>Fret not.

I think it is more likely the paper is being prepared by North Americans and given to some Primates --- ABC being ever polite probably said - oh yes I guess a paper would be fine.

Did the writer bother to contact anyone at the offices of the Anglican Communion or any of the organizers of the Primates meeting?
