- The Anglican Consultative Council reports that 65.4 million people in the world profess to be Anglican (or Episcopalian) and 2,877,000 of them live in Canada.
- The total number of Anglicans is growing about one million a year. One in four of its members is a communicant. They are served by 560 bishops and more than 40,000 clergymen. The Anglican communion is a world-wide family which includes 22 autonomous "national" churches in which 93 principal countries are represented. Each member of this catholic church makes its own rules and appoints its own officers. In 1971-72, for the first time, the number of Anglicans outside England (32.9 million) was greater than the number in England (32.5 million).
- As the proportion of English Anglicans decreases that of African Anglicans increases.
- This international and inter-racial family shares common attitudes and inherited traditions, has a mutual recognition of ministers and a "mutual responsibility and interdependence in the Body of Christ."
- The Anglican Church of Canada's general policy states that "the church is the Body of Christ and as such is concerned with the totality of human existence and man's eternal destiny. It is called to proclaim the Gospel of God's redeeming love through Christ, and deliverance from sin and from all that mars human life."
- The habit of family consultation was started over 100 years ago with bishops meeting at Lambeth Conferences every 10 years. During the 1960's it was recognized that in the fast-changing world there was need for more frequent discussion and exchange of information.
- This resulted in the formation of the Anglican Consultative Council, a non-legislative body which brings clerical and lay delegates from each member church together. Its first meeting was in Limuru, Kenya in 1971. It meets for the second time this year, in Dublin, Ireland.
- Secretary-General of the Council and formerly Executive Officer of the Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. John W.A. Howe, says, "We live is a world where social and political situations can and do tear apart families and separate friends." He sees the Council as continuing the tradition of consultation which is of the essence of Anglican cohesion and the Anglican life style and serves as "an instrument of common action."
- The two basic units of the Anglican Communion are the diocese and the parish. In the beginning, probably only one church existed in a city under the direction and control of a Bishop, seen as the successor to the Apostles. The Bishop was assisted by a number of presbyters (or priests) and deacons. The latter were chiefly concerned with works of charity. As the church spread out, and more than one church was established in a city, the Bishop left priests in charge of various congregations. When a congregation was small, two or more churches came under the care of one priest. This unit was called a parish. The parish then became a geographical area consisting of one or more churches. A diocese looked after by a Bishop is an area consisting of a number of parishes. Each diocese is in some ways, though not entirely, autonomous. Several dioceses are grouped together to form an ecclesiastical province which is in the care of an Archbishop known as a Metropolitan.
- Dioceses, provinces and national churches all have their synods. In almost all cases, bishops, clergy and laity consult together in the interests of the church. The Bishop works in partnership with the people of his diocese (clergy and lay) and the priest works in partnership with his congregation, always conscious of Christ's dictum: "He who would be greatest among you must be as one that serves."

[Bishop of Huron Recommends Unified Plan for Anglican Communion]

- Taking his cue from the climate of reform in Roman Catholicism and the developing ecumenical movement, Rt. Rev. G.N. Luxton, Bishop of Huron, says the Anglican Communion's 19 independent churches should adopt a unified plan to stimulate its work of world mission.
- In an article entitled "A Blueprint for the Anglican Communion" in the May issue of Canadian Churchman, the London, Ontario bishop suggests the creation of a central council which he believes could plan and act without seriously disturbing the autonomy of the various churches. Canadian Churchman is the national publication of the Anglican Church of Canada.
- Bishop Luxton calls on the 500 bishops of the communion who will meet this summer in London, England, for the 10th Lambeth Conference, to take preliminary steps and set up provisional committees in preparation for a revised and representative Anglican Congress. The congress, he says, should sponsor the central council and be the administrative forum for the communion with a modest legislative responsibility.
- The Lambeth Conference - the first was held in 1867 - is held normally every 10 years on the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Delegates are restricted to bishops of the Anglican Communion. The first Anglican Congress was held in Minneapolis in 1954, the second in Toronto in 1963 and the next is planned for 1973. Delegates include bishops, priests and members of the laity from all over the world. Neither the conference nor the congress has any legislative authority, but their recommendations carry considerable weight both inside and outside religious circles.
- "The Toronto Congress went part way toward achieving representative status," says Bishop Luxton. "Most of the new world dioceses elected their representatives by ballot or similar procedures. For 1973 we would, I hope, widen their representative function and authorize them to speak and act for us in the following fields: world mission; study, research and planning for mission; and support, administration and financing of the congress, its duly elected communion council, and the united work of world mission accepted as the responsibility of a united Anglican Communion."
- Chairmanship of the central council, he suggests, should be an elective and rotating post with occupants chosen from among the bishops, clergy or laity of the Anglican body and serving for not more than five years. He believes Anglicans would oppose the erection of "another hierarchical throne at the centre of our communion." Council members could be elected in the same way, with each serving for a three-year period. Biannual meetings of the council are suggested.
- The Canadian bishop says he is appealing for an aggiornamento, or renewal, in Anglicanism comparable to that now stirring the Roman Catholic Church.
- "It is one that will give us unity, democratic decisions, modern research and competent administration on the Anglican Communion level, which already most of us enjoy on the parish, diocesan, provincial and national levels."

- Soon after his enthronement in January 1961"I studied [Archbishop Ramsey's] impressive countenance looming out from newspapers and magazines. I learned that he was a great preacher, a brilliant author, a profound philosopher. Clergy and laity spoke of him with deep respect. Presently, there evolved the idea of a book which would tell Episcopalians, and others who follow with interest the Anglican Communion's widespread life, something of the background and thought of the hundredth Archbishop of Canterbury. In the course of my research there also evolved a portrait of a warm, uniquely gifted figure who is without doubt one of the outstanding personalities of our times". -- Preface.

- London, England - The Anglican Church, with some forty-five million members spread around the globe, has no constitution, but shares a great deal in common. One common feature is that each of the twenty or more member Churches of the family is autonomous. The very real affinity and common life within this diverse family owes much to a habit of consultation.
- For a century, Lambeth Conferences have been the characteristic major consultation. That Conference meets only once in ten years and is of Bishops only.
- According to the Rt. Rev. J.W.A. Howe, Executive Officer of the Anglican Communion here, something more nimble and available is needed in a world of comtemporary pace and pressure. He says in 1968 the Lambeth Conference itself, proposed what we hope will be the answer: The Anglican Consultative Council. In 1971, from February 23rd to March 5th, the new Consultative Council meets for the first time.
- The Council will meet in Limuru, Kenya. This in itself is significant. The meetings are not a Lambeth or London fixture, and will be held in different countries over the years. This helps to make it clear that membershipof the very international, inter-racial Anglican family is shared by everybody on equal terms. Nominations for the Council are not yet quite complete, but it is clear that half the individual members will be European and the other half "non-Europeans." The fifty-five members are not only Bishops. There will also be clergy and lay people and each Church will choose its own member. The Archbishop of Canterbury is a member of the Council in his own right and its President.
- The Council will meet every other year and its elected Standing Committee in the intervening years. According to Bishop Howe, this should provide a continuity in the affairs and thinking of the Anglican Communion which previously has been lacking, and which can be of the first importance.
- Bishop Howe says some apprehension has been expressed that the creation of the Council might indicate that the Anglican Communion is increasingly pre-occupied with itself at a time when ecumenicity should be in the forefront. He says this would be a disaster, but the danger is not great. Of the stated functions of the Council, three out of eight are ecumenical. Other Churches, it is hoped, will be grateful for an Anglican Church that can respond to their questions more quickly. Among the observers at Limuru will be representatives of the World Council of Churches and the Vatican Secretariate for Unity, and on the Agenda the title of Committee 1 is "Unity and Ecumenical Affairs."
- Subjects that are virtually certain to be on the Agenda include the major re-appraisal of mission in the Anglican Communion called for in the Lambeth Conference Resolution...union negotiations and ecumenical policies, women priests...racism, the Church and society, the size of Dioceses, world poverty, marriage discipline and finance.
- So, in February 1971, the members will gather from the corners of the globe in Limuru, Kenya, for the first meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council. Limuru is rather remote, which should make it work easier. It is too near the equator to know whether it's in front or behind, and is 7000 feet up, which may or may not have any significance!
