As we reviewed the current situation, we recognized that the fabric of the Communion was torn at its deepest level as a result of the actions taken by The Episcopal Church (USA) and the Anglican Church in Canada since 2003. As a result, our Anglican Communion is currently suffering from broken relations, a lack of trust, and dysfunctional \u201cinstruments of unity.\u201d\u009d<br \/>\n4. However, we trust in God\u2019s promise that the \u201cgates of hades will not overcome\u201d\u009d the church. Holding unto this promise, we believe that we have to make every effort in order to restore our beloved Communion. Therefore we took the following decisions:<br \/>\na) We request and will support the Archbishop of Canterbury to call for a Primates Meeting in 2015 in order to address the increasingly deteriorating situation facing the Anglican Communion. It is important that the  agenda of this Primates Meeting be discussed and agreed upon by the Primates beforehand in order to ensure an effective meeting.<br \/>\nb) We decided to establish a Primatial Oversight Council, in following-through the recommendations taken at Dromantine in 2005 and Dar es Salam in 2007, to provide pastoral and primatial oversight to dissenting individuals, parishes, and dioceses in order to keep them within the Communion.<br \/>\nc) We realize that the time has come to address the ecclesial deficit, the mutual accountability and re-shaping the instruments of unity by following through the recommendations mentioned in the Windsor Report (2004), the Primates Meetings in Dromantine (2005) and Dar es Salam (2007), and the Windsor Continuation Group report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalsouthanglican.org\/index.php\/blog\/comments\/statement_from_the_global_south_primates_steering_committee_cairo_egypt_14\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3.
