On May 7, the Anglican Communion Office announced that it would extend its "Listening Process" that currently pertains to human sexuality in the Communion to focus on additional topics like the authority of scripture and faithfulness to tradition. It was also announced that the $1.5 million dollars going to fund the new listening process had been secured from a private source, the Satcher Health Leadership Institute. An American Anglican Council report on the souce of the funds found connections to a controversial, pro-homosexual activist group.

Today, the Anglican Communion Office released this defense from the Satcher Institute as to the source of the funds.

The release claims that the sole source of the funds is an Episcopal Priest, the Rev. Marta Weeks, and that there are "no strings attached" to the Satcher Institute or the donor. AAC
