The Commercial Closet Association held their Images in Advertising Awards Monday night at the Time Warner Center here in New York City. Obviously we leapt at the opportunity to mingle with the mo-minded media and advertising set, so we headed on down to take a look at things. Let's just say it met our expectations.

Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams remains "hopeful" the International Communion can survive their protracted culture wars, he says in Time's new issue, which hits streets on Friday.

As we all know, the Anglicans have been duking it out over the ever-contentious place of the queer. Tensions have become increasingly thick since the 2004 ascension of New Hampshire Bishop and professed gay, Gene Robinson's. Robinson's religious rise led Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola and his conservative comrades to take on the American Anglican branch, The Episcopal Church.

Akinola's gone so far as to defy Anglican laws to lure a number of American churches to the dark side. The holy war's led some people to wonder if the Anglicans can survive. While Williams acknowledges these are difficult times, he's confident they'll survive:

I don't think schism is inevitable. The task I've got is to try and maintain as long as possible the space in which people can have constructive disagreements, learn from each other, and try and hold that within an agreed framework of discipline and practice… I'm hopeful.

He went on to describe "hopeful" as a "safer" word than "optimistic". Safer, huh? How about "desperate"?
