Bishop Vader

Brilliant!


From the blogger jerusalemanglican:

Among the many controversial individuals attending Lambeth this year is, of course, Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, seen left processing with his fellow bishops (h/t: Stand Firm). Although Lord Vader's status as a bishop of the Anglican Communion is, in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury , Dr. Rowan Williams, "Unclear", he did receive an invitation to the Lambeth Conference, and has been very willing to talk to the press. In a recent interview Lord Vader was asked to comment on the absence of the many conservative bishops, Like Yoda, from this Lambeth Conference, he simply said that he "Found their lack of faith disturbing."
Conservative Anglican leaders from around the world, such as Yoda, Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, and Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda, met recently in a conference of their own in Jerusalem last month.
Regarding Lord Vader's presence at the Lambeth Conference, The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Primate of The Episcopal ...Church said:
"Anglicanism has always been broader than some people are comfortable with. We need to have some serious discussions in the Anglican Communion about The Empire, and about the Dark Side. These are topics some in the Anglican Communion are not comfortable discussing in public." She also went on to say that "Darth Vader is not the only Sith Bishop in the Anglican Communion, he is just open about it."
