[Christianity Today UK] 7 Feb 2008--The group tasked with drawing up a covenant that 70 million members of the Anglican Communion can unite under has issued its second draft for consideration in the months running up to the Lambeth Conference.

The St Andrew’s draft was drawn up by members of the Covenant Design Group when it met at St Andrew’s House in London at the end of last month.

It attempts to uphold the autonomy of the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion whilst at the same time asking for their voluntary commitment to a process of joined-up deliberation whenever disputes occur over contentious issues.
