The Anglican Covenant:Background and Resources

http://www.fulcrum-anglican.org.uk/news/2007/20070701goddard.cfm?doc=217

[Fulcrum] 11 July 2007--The proposal for a covenant was made by the Lambeth Commission on Communion in The Windsor Report published in October 2004. In paras 113-120 of Section C ('Our Future Life Together'), the Commission discussed the work of the Anglican Communion Legal Advisers' Network, especially on the common principles of canon law and proposed 'the adoption by the churches of the Communion of a common Anglican Covenant which would make explicit and forceful the loyalty and bonds of affection which govern the relationships between the churches of the Communion' (§118). The Windsor Report offered a draft covenant as an appendix to its report.
