The Rev. Dr. Ian Douglas, a member of the subcommittee, added that only a small minority of responses were completely for the covenant as proposed or against any form of covenant. Most responses were nuanced\u201d\u201dstating conditions under which a covenant might be acceptable or unacceptable.<\/p>\n
The Rev. Dr. Lee Alison Crawford, another member of the subcommittee, said that many respondents offered thanks for the opportunity to comment on the covenant.<\/p>\n
The Rev. Canon Mark Harris concluded that the subcommittee had reached consensus on three recommendations to the entire Executive Council\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n
1. That a hard copy of all responses be forwarded to the Anglican Communion Office and the Covenant Design Group.
\n2. That Executive Council appoint a writing group to draft a collective response to the proposed covenant for approval by Executive Council during its October 2007 meeting.
\n3. That the writing group communicate with the House of Bishop Theology Committee.<\/p>\n
