Anglican Communion Standing Committee Day 3
The Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion reports on the third day of its meeting. Topics discussed were:
Standing Committee: “Africa, Asia and Oceania should appoint more ACC members” --from the footnotes:
2. Provinces with fewer than 250,000 represented by one person (preferably lay) on ACC; with between 250,000 and 1 million by two people (1 bishop or 1 priest, and 1 lay); and with more than 1 million three people (1 bishop, 1 priest and 1 lay).Membership of Anglican Communion now at “85,000,000”
Young Anglicans to write book on historic Edinburgh meeting
Additional Mark of Mission on peacebuilding reviewed
The Anglican Alliance “driven by the global south”
Provinces ‘adopting’ Anglican networks should be “a way forward”.
Communion urged to mark international days against gender violence
Lambeth Palace and Anglican Communion Secretariat roles to be clarified
United Nations Observer report
Some things I've taken note of:
"In 2009, Bishop Clive Hanford led a review of the working relationship between Lambeth Palace and the Anglican Communion secretariat to clarify roles and responsibilities. This report was welcomed by the Standing Committee and it was agreed that a Memorandum of Understanding should be drawn up clarifying the working relationship between the roles of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Communion and of the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion."
I was also interested to see that CAPA's meeting and agenda was a topic. I'm not sure that's happened at an ACC SC meeting before - it could well have. Do I sense that despite many African primates not attending the recent Lambeth conference of primates, there are signs of harmony. (Is it worth noting KJS could not attend the ACC SC meeting b/c of the HOB going on at the same time?)
