[EV News] 4 Dec 2008--The Church of England has issued its response to the Anglican Covenant first mooted by the Windsor Group and then put out by the Covenant Design Group. The General Synod unwisely gave the Archbishops authority to respond on their behalf and the fears of some in doing so have been realised. In effect the response completely re-writes the original CDG version.
What is the point of a Covenant?
The aim is to provide a self-defining agreement which national or provincial churches adopt as a means of indicating that they are in the Communion. It also seeks to provide a mechanism by which disputes can be resolved when one constituent member of the Communion says that another has broken the agreement.
