[Anglican Journal] 2 April 2007--Who’s driving the bus?”
The question was posed by a member of the Council of General Synod (CoGS) at its meeting last month. She was musing aloud about the requests and demands made by the churches’ primates (senior bishops of a national or multinational church) at their February meeting in Tanzania. The primates called on all provinces in the Anglican Communion to examine a proposed covenant and to respond within a fixed time period.
They also issued a communiqué which set a deadline of Sept. 30 for the Episcopal Church to “make an unequivocal common covenant” that its bishops will not allow same-sex blessings in their churches and that it would not consent to the election and consecration of a bishop living in a same-sex union “unless some new consensus on this matter emerges” across the Anglican world.
