Why Be Anglican

Primates spotted in Tanzania

The heads of each Province of the Anglican Church (known as primates) are currently meeting together in Tanzania.

While a few procedural issues will dominate the play for the first few days, it will be interesting to see the events play out.

My concerns about church unity coming from a common truth will hopefully be reflected in a common patnership and mission are not guaranteed to be reflected in the decisions of the meeting, but much prayer is needed.

The nuts and bolts of the decisions will not come out straight away, but we need to keep praying.

Unfortunately, The Windsor Report is flawed, and the Panel of Reference has not been effective in upholding the doctrinal concerns of the faithful churches.

Pray that things are better this time.
