[sydneyanglicans.net] 8 Dec 2008--The Standing Committee of the Diocese of Sydney has welcomed the creation of the Province of the Anglican Church of North America and voted to send greetings ‘to the faithful men and women who have taken this significant step forward in gospel mission’.

The statement of welcome was passed overwhelmingly at Standing Committee’s meeting on Monday December 8.

The motion comes two days after a statement from GAFCON primates which welcomed the creation of the province and said “We fully support this development with our prayer and blessing, since it demonstrates the determination of these faithful Christians to remain authentic Anglicans.”
