Communion offices publishes report on ecumenism

A comprehensive account of the Anglican Communion's ecumenical work has been published by the Anglican Communion Office.


The Vision Before Us, subtitled 'The Kyoto Report of the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Ecumenical Relations 2000-2008', records the Commission's work of maintaining an overview of the Anglican Communion's engagement with Christians of other traditions, and of giving encouragement and advice to the ecumenical activities of the Communion and the Provinces.

Described by the Rt Revd Gregory Cameron, Bishop of St Asaph, and former Anglican Director of Ecumenical Affairs, as 'a chocolate box of delights', the book contains all the Resolutions of the Commission, along with its statements, papers, advice and other key texts. These include an extended study on Holy Orders in Ecumenical Dialogues and Guidelines on Ecumenical Participation in Ordinations. It details all the Communion's bilateral and multilateral dialogues, as well as various regional developments, and the ecumenical dimensions of other areas of the Communion's life.

Copies are available from neil.vigers@anglicancommunion.org at the Anglican Communion Office.
