Anglican Covenant
The final draft of the proposed Anglican Covenant was released in mid-December, 2009, for formal consideration for adoption by constituent Provinces of the Anglican Communion through appropriate processes.
The 76th General Convention further committed the Episcopal Churchs engagement with the covenant process (Resolution 2009-D020). As the highest legislative authority of The Episcopal Church, the General Convention is the body that will ultimately decide The Episcopal Churchs position with respect to participation in an Anglican Communion Covenant.
For General Convention to reflect the mind of the whole Church, the bishops and deputies who participate in General Convention need to know the thoughtful and faithful reactions of the many and varied faith communities represented in this Church.
Every congregation in this Church is strongly urged to discuss the proposed Covenant at some time in the coming two years,
and St. Timothys will schedule a discussion on the Covenant after the first of the year. Please click on the Anglican Covenant
