ACC declines to go along with ‘consequences’ – ENS\/Anglican Journal Canada<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

‘..the council declined to endorse or take any action similar to the primates\u2019 call in January for three years of so-called \u201cconsequences\u201d\u009d for the Episcopal Church. The primates\u2019 call was in response to the 78th General Convention\u2019s decision to change canonical language that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman (Resolution A036) and authorize two new marriage rites with language allowing them to be used by same-sex or opposite-sex couples (Resolution A054).’<\/p>\n

ACC Churns Out Resolutions – The Living Church<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

‘Resolution C34, proposed by delegates from South Sudan, called upon the ACC to receive the report of the January Primates\u2019 Meeting, including consequences for the Episcopal Church detailed by the primates\u2019 communiqu\u00c3\u00a9. It affirmed \u201cthe commitment of the Primates of the Anglican Communion to walk together; and commits to continue to seek appropriate ways for the provinces of the Anglican Communion to walk together with each other and with the Primates and other Instruments of Communion.\u201d\u009d As part of the consent agenda, the resolution was received without objection and passed without amendment.<\/p>\n

A second resolution welcoming the full text of the primates\u2019 communiqu\u00c3\u00a9 was proposed by delegates from Ireland and Australia. It was initially set aside for further discussion, but was later withdrawn by the proposers. The Archbishop of Canterbury told the delegates that he was pleased with this action, saying that Resolution C34 \u201ccovers issues we need to cover,\u201d\u009d establishing sufficient concurrence between the ACC and the Primates\u2019 Meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequences [for the Episcopal Church] stand,\u201d\u009d Archbishop Justin Welby said in a news conference Monday afternoon.’<\/p>\n

ACC-16: Electric Boogaloo – Tom Ferguson, Crusty Old Dean<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

‘The ACC formally received the report from the Primates’ Meeting in a resolution proposed by Bishop Deng of Sudan. Further, declined to pass a resolution which would have received and welcomed the entire text of the Primates. Some people have been spinning the first action: by “receiving” the Report, is it acknowledging and approving of that report? Others have focused on the second action: Or, by declining to receive the entire text, is that somehow a repudiation? In the end, it did what it was supposed to do: one instrument of communion received a report from another. By failing to receive the entire report, this can clearly be seen as being reluctant to take any further steps, but Crusty is reluctant to see it as some kind of grand repudiation of the Primates, at least at this stage.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
