Upcoming meetings of interest [Updated yet again]
Update II: Another update to list which events AnglicanTV and Stand Firm are covering online, depending as always on funding, so DONATE here and here.
Thanks to Sarah Hey for additional info.
I have had all of these dates and meetings rattling around in my head for the past several weeks and decided that it was time to organize! So, to the best of my knowledge (and please let me know if I've missed anything), here is a list of upcoming Anglican meetings of various sorts from now until Lambeth 2008.
I've listed who is sponsoring the meeting, when, where, why (the purpose of the meeting), and who has been invited (but I can't vouch for who actually may show up).
Anyway, here is my best guess effort (listed chronologically):
July 30-31, 2007
Anglican Communion Network
St. Vincent’s Cathedral in Bedford, Texas
Annual Council Meeting
Invited are all Network bishops. The Bible teacher for the meeting will be Gregory Venables, Archbishop of the Southern Cone.
AnglicanTV will definitely be there.

Continuing discussions
All ECUSA bishops who subscribe to following the process outlined in The Windsor Report
