[The Living Church] 2 Mar 2009--A team of pastoral visitors appointed by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams held its first meeting last week at Virginia Theological Seminary.

Created in response to the recommendations of the Windsor Continuation Group’s report to the primates’ meeting in Egypt last month, Archbishop Williams said the pastoral visitors will “act as consultants in situations of stress and conflict” across the Anglican Communion.

The pastoral visitors met at Virginia Theological Seminary Feb. 25-28 for an initial briefing facilitated by the Rt. Rev. Peter Price, Bishop of Bath and Wells in the Church of England.
