Some of our members who lead the largest provinces in the Anglican Communion chose on principle not to attend the 2017 Primates\u2019 Meeting. However, we received a report from those members who did choose to attend. <\/p>\n
We are grieved that the Communiqu\u00e9 from that meeting did not accurately describe the relationships that have been broken by The Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the Scottish Episcopal Church. These provinces have torn the fabric of the Anglican Communion. They are not walking together with us. The Communiqu\u00e9 also did not accurately describe the Anglican Church in North America, which we recognised as a Province in the Anglican Communion. In addition, in addressing cross-border interventions, the Communiqu\u00e9 failed to recognise that there is no moral equivalence between border crossing, which arises “from a deep concern for the welfare of Anglicans in the face of innovation”, and the innovations themselves (Dar es Salaam Communiqu\u00e9 2007). <\/p>\n
We were disappointed both in the content of the Communiqu\u00e9 and the process of its production. The Communiqu\u00e9 was not made available until the very last day of the meeting, and there was not adequate time to consider its content. At the moment when trust between the provinces of the Anglican Communion is exceptionally fragile, this was not an event that facilitated healing and reconciliation. Instead, the Primates\u2019 Meeting in Canterbury has contributed to a deepening of the divide in our beloved Communion. <\/p>\n
