The Pastoral Council and the Primatial Vicar

[titusonenine] 29 Mar 2007--Much was accomplished through obviously difficult and taxing work by the Primates at Dar es Salaam. In one key area, it is clear that the work of two Camp Allen meetings of Windsor Bishops was endorsed at Dar es Salaam. Up until now, that work has been largely confidential though public statements were released as was possible.
Here is what was accomplished:

• The Pastoral Council scheme (suggested in an early form by ACI) was discussed and adapted in Camp Allen deliberations – it emerged in the Dar communiqué in specific form
• The agreement to work to see to an end to inventions was forthcoming at the second meeting – this emerged from Dar es Salaam as well, linked as was hoped to a workable plan for oversight, ‘an American solution to an American problem’
• The moratoria were a part of the Camp Allen principles – these were requested at Dar es Salaam and a date set of 30 Sept for their adherence
• The ‘thresholds’ for attendance at Camp Allen meetings – these are confirmed and referred to by name as ‘Camp Allen Principles’

In addition, a kind of bridge was built back to the Presiding Bishop by utilization of the ‘Primatial Vicar’ language, now as an ingredient in a five member Pastoral Council scheme.
