In his fifth Fulcrum Newsletter, just prior to the Archbishop of Canterbury's visti to the House of Bishops of The Episcopal Church in New Orleans, Graham wrote about the two extreme 'edges' that the Anglican Communion needed defending against: 'automomous rootless liberalism' and 'independent relentless puritanism'. He drew on the wisdom of Lancelot Andrewes, Richard Hooker and S T Coleridge. It was copublished with the Church of England Newspaper on 21 Sept 2007.
