Executive Council Proposes Regional Anglican Convocation
11/16/2006

The Episcopal Church's Executive Council has asked Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and House of Deputies President Bonnie Anderson to appoint a working group to investigate the possibility of setting up an “Anglican regional convocation of the Americas.”

Meeting in Chicago, the council said that the working group should consult with the Anglican Church of Canada, the Anglican Council of Latin America (CALA), and the Province of the West Indies to explore the convocation concept. The purpose of the group would be to equip member churches for “mutuality and interdependence in God's mission,” the council said.

The Most Rev. Drexel Gomez, Primate of the Church in the Province of the West Indies, last year announced plans for the formation of a Council of Anglican Provinces of the Americas and Caribbean (CAPAC), the leadership of which has been critical of many actions taken by The Episcopal Church. the rest
