Communion Relationship is Focus for Executive Council

January 30, 2009

The Anglican Communion and The Episcopal Church’s relationship with it is the focus of the three-day meeting of Executive Council which began in Stockton, Calif., on Jan. 29.

The meeting is being held in the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin to show council’s support for Episcopalians in the area who are reorganizing after the majority voted during the annual convention in December 2007 to affiliate with the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone. Council members are scheduled to spend time hearing about the progress made by the diocese.

The proposed budget for 2010-2012 and The Episcopal Church’s preliminary response to the proposed Anglican Covenant are the most significant “action” items appearing on the preliminary agenda. Council is responsible for preparing a preliminary budget for approval by General Convention, which meets in Anaheim, Calif., in July. the rest
