This resolution, R-3: &#8220;Response to Offer of Provisional Primatial Oversight,\u201d\u009d originated in the Anglican Communion Development Committee (ACD) but has also been supported by a majority of the clergy of the West Charleston deanery with whom I met at their recent clericus on Shrove Tuesday. The ACD Committee is an arm of Diocesan Council. It was established in 2009 in order to strategically establish mutually-enriching missional relationships with provinces and dioceses of the Anglican Communion. It has played a key role in pursuing our diocesan vision of \u201cMaking Biblical Anglicans for a Global Age.\u201d\u009d As your bishop I fully support this resolution and for all of the reasons mentioned in the Rationale attached to it.  But particularly for the reasons presented in the final rationale: \u201cMost importantly, however, this resolution is the response to something others in the communion have created, and it provides a means for us to better make biblical Anglicans for a global age in this in between-time. We choose to see it as a providential provision which gives us further sacramental closeness with the global Anglican family which we so richly treasure.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diosc.com\/sys\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;view=article&#038;id=557:bishop-lawrences-message-regarding-resolution-r-3&#038;catid=1:latest-news&#038;Itemid=75\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please make sure to read the text of this resolution and the rationale which are linked in the bishop&#8217;s comments&#8211;KSH.
