Are we whole? Not yet. I am not sure we shall be whole as this Communion within the lifetime of any one of us, maybe ever. On the other hand, that concept of wholeness may itself be an idol, for it is God who does the weaving and knitting and molding so that we may be one as a communion even when we are not of one mind. We may never be able to be of one mind, but we may be able to be of one heart, by God's grace.
- An excerpt from Bishop James Jelinek's thoughts at the conclusion of the Lambeth Conference.
