The Anglican Consultative Council failed to follow its rules in soliciting approval for its new constitution, critics of the London-based \u201d\u02dcinstrument of communion\u2019 tell The Church of England Newspaper.<\/p>\n
Some provinces were never asked to approve the ACC\u2019s new constitution, while others were asked to approve \u201cin principle\u201d\u009d a draft version that differed from the final document lodged with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales on July 10, 2010, while a third group reported that the draft it approved was substantially similar to the one adopted.<\/p>\n
The resulting uncertainty has likely resulted in two Anglican Consultative Councils under law: a limited corporation created under English law on July 12, 2010, and an English charitable trust registered in 1978.<\/p>\n
