The Archbishop briefed members of the ACC last week about the Primates\u2019 meeting; and this week they unanimously agreed a resolution backing the Primates\u2019 decisions.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ACNS last night, as he prepared to fly out of Lusaka at the end of the ACC-16 meeting, Archbishop Welby welcomed the resolution. \u201cThe actions of the ACC demonstrate that it is working in close collaboration with the Primates, as has been the aim since both started and is set out especially in Resolution 52 of the Lambeth Conference 1988,\u201d\u009d Archbishop Welby said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven that my report, referred to in the resolution, incorporated the Communiqu\u00c3\u00a9 and was very explicit on consequences; the resolution clearly supports and accepts all the Primates\u2019 Meeting conclusions<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo member of the Episcopal Church stood for office in the ACC or Standing Committee. The consequences of the Primates meeting have been fully implemented<\/b>.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
