I went to the Episcopal Church website and to the Presiding Bishop's 
page.  Thence I went to "sermons and statements", and was surprised.  
There seems to be virtually nothing there.  Some of the sermons may be 
of particular relevancer to specific places, and so of little general 
import, but surely she has said something significant this year.

We know there have been difficulties (to put it no stronger) at GTS and 
I know that she has no personal direct jurisdiction in the USA. 
Nevertheless she is the Church's chief minister and should be someone 
who gives a lead in significant matters.  Given the way that others with 
a particular perspective might well want to edit her words to suit their 
purposes it would be helpful to know what she actually said, not simply 
what particular interest groups havce reported.

By way of comparison I observe that the Archbishoip of Canterbiry's 
website gives 12 speeches and 7 sermons (including one at Trinity, Wall 
Street) that he has delivered this year.  I know we have different 
ecclesiologies but in reality Archbishop Justin's jurisdiction is not 
that great, but he wants to use his influence to promote Gospel values.
