[Episcopal Life Online] 22 June 2007--Bonnie Anderson, president of the Episcopal Church's House or Deputies, explained the Church's Windsor Report response during two large-group conversations June 20 at the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada.

Anderson was part of a three-member panel which made its presentation twice during what the Synod called "conversations." The Synod's approximately 295 delegates (bishops, clergy and laity) had three choices of conversations to join. The topics included the blessing of same-gender relationships, which the Canadian church is due to consider later this week, and financial development, as well as the one titled "Windsor Report/Communion."

The other panelists were Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu, who spoke about the Church of England's response, and Dr. Patricia Bays, who explained the Anglican Church of Canada's proposed response. The Windsor Report was not issued in time for the Canadian General Synod's last meeting to respond to it and thus it is taking it up now.
