us_666_sign.jpgRead any press account of Lambeth 2008 and you will discover that there are 670 bishops attending this conference. But are there? I have heard rumours that there may in fact be 666 bishops in attendance. I don't need to remind you that is the 'number of the beast' according to the New Testament. I have even heard a mumbled conspiracy theory that the Anglican Communion Office is rounding off the number of bishops in attendance in order to disguise a number that could be used by cynics, sceptics, hacks and Gafconites to ridicule the gathering. Plainly, we have absolutely no evidence whatsoever to underwrite any of these rumours.
