AMiA Response to the Primates' Communique
The Anglican Mission in the Americas
Feb 22, 2007

In response to the 2007 primates' Communiqué, the Anglican Mission in the Americas has issued the following statement:

The Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMiA) commends the primates of the Anglican Communion for their strong resolve to demand clarity from The Episcopal Church (TEC) concerning adherence to the standards of the Communion regarding sexuality. The Communiqué issued a firm demand for reformation and repentance within TEC to be marked by specific commitments and actions, and we fully support this demand.

We believe it should always be remembered that while much of the focus of this recent primates' meeting has revolved around The Episcopal Church's violations of the 1998 Lambeth Resolution I.10 concerning human sexuality, those violations have, in fact, been only a painful symptom of the much greater crisis of faith and leadership that presently exists within TEC and the many questions that TEC has raised in recent years regarding the authority of the Scriptures as our "standard and ultimate rule of faith."
