Here is a link to her opening statement for their 2009 General Convention: http://www.americananglican.org/presiding-bishop-s-opening-address/.
I love this part of her address.
The great Western heresy - that we can be saved as individuals, that any of use alone can be in right relationship with God. It's caricatured in some quarters by insisting that salvation depends on reciting a specific verbal formula about Jesus. That individualist focus is a form of idolatry, for it puts me and my words in the place that only God can occupy, at the center of existence.
