Diocese of San Joaquin Press Release:
June 28, 2006
Standing Committee Requests "oversight and pastoral care be provided by the Archbishop of Canterbury"

June 24, 2006

We affirm the statement made by the Bishop, Standing Committee, and Deputation of the Diocese of Fort Worth on June 19, 2006 regarding Primatial Oversight. Further, we reaffirm the Anglican Communion Recognition Resolution made by Bishop John-David Schofield and the Diocesan Council of the Diocese of San Joaquin on April 8, 2006:

“BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bishop and Diocesan Council of the Diocese of San Joaquin petition the following: 1) those Primates and Provinces of the Anglican Communion who remain unreservedly committed to classic Anglican formularies, teaching and practice, and 2) The Archbishop of Canterbury along with the Anglican Consultative Council for affirmation of its status as a legitimate Anglican diocese in the USA despite the current role of ECUSA, or what it has done heretofore or may do in the future. This petition envisions the continued recognition of this Diocese as a constituent member of the Anglican Communion by as many Primates and Provinces of the same, and by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who acknowledge the Diocese of San Joaquin without relying on subsidiary recognition from or through ECUSA.”

Based on our April 8th Resolution, we ask that oversight and pastoral care be provided by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
