The bishops “present from the CAPA family” spoke of their deep commitment to the Communion. But they also spoke of the absence of some of their colleagues “as a loud cry of deep anguish they feel about the deteriorating condition of the wounded Anglican Communion, a Communion they love very much”, reflecting “the frustration about the wasted opportunities that would have otherwise set the Communion on the path of healing”. Even those CAPA bishops who are here, they said, “share their concerns and feelings”.<\/p>\n
The African bishops express their belief that “the best way forward to sustain our Anglican heritage” would involve reaffirming Lambeth 1998’s resolution 1.10 and implementing it in its entirety.<\/p>\n
The bishops call for the adoption of the three moratoria and the swift formation of the Pastoral Forum as recommended by the Windsor Continuation Group “by the Archbishop of Canterbury in consultation with the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA”.<\/p>\n
The CAPA bishops state that they agree in principle “to a covenant which enhances the values and spirit of Anglicanism as defined in the context of scripture, reason and tradition”, and call for “the review and strengthening of instruments of unity of the Anglican Communion [sic], in light of the current challenges and realities.<\/p>\n
The bishops conclude by expressing their hope that this Lambeth Conference will bear fruit in such a way as to “help us be a communion that can reveal to the world the truth of the Word of God”.<\/p>\n
