The Chair of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) has told members of the Canadian Council of General Synod (CoGs) that the Anglican Church of Canada “remains an important part of the Anglican Communion”.

Bishop John Paterson, of Auckland, New Zealand gave the comments to the CoGs, which will give the Church of Canada renewed hope in its future with the worldwide Anglican body.

Paterson said, “The Communion needs Canada and I believe Canada needs the Communion.”

He also stated that he hoped that the “listening process” that had been laid down, would allow churches throughout the entire Communion to think about and appreciate each others’ differences. Story
