[This seems to be a major spanner in the works for Sunday 24th for it means
that 2 of the four to be consecrated cannot be considered in any way as
members of the House of Bishops of S E Asia; they will simply be bishops of
the AMiA and the claims for a relation with S E Asia will be of no effect]

South East Asia bishops refute Primate's intention

Lambeth Palace has received notice from the Church of the Province of South
East Asia's House of Bishops, that indicates that they do not support the
intention of their Primate, the Most Revd Yong Ping Chung, to participate
in a service as co-consecrator for bishops for the Anglican Mission in
America on 24 June 2001.

The South East Asia bishops have also informed their Primate, by letter,
that they believe his action is a violation of their Constitution.
