- Prologue
- The Report of the Joint Standing Committee #015-02-07-11
- The Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan presented 'The Report of the Joint Standing Committee to the Archbishop of Canterbury' (Doc. #015-02-07-11) and invited table groups to discuss the report and respond to questions:
- - What can you affirm ?
- - What is challenging ?
- - What gives you hope ?
- The Primate noted that a similar exercise had been conducted at the meeting of the House of Bishops. Both results will be taken into account when drafting the response.
- Response to the Covenant #015-01-07-11
- The Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan presented 'A Preliminary Response to the Draft Covenant by the Anglican Church of Canada'. Council offered its comments and concerns and asked Archdeacon Harry Huskins and Canon Robert Falby to revise the draft response.
- Council achieved consensus on revisions to the preliminary response proposed by the Anglican Communion Working Group and proposed:
- Text
- That this Council of General Synod forward “A Preliminary Response to the Draft Covenant by the Anglican Church of Canada” to the Covenant Design Group of the Anglican Communion. APPROVED BY CONSENSUS #20-11-07

- The document, 'A Preliminary Response to the Draft Covenant by the Anglican Church of Canada', is attached as Appendix D.
- APPENDIX D
- A Preliminary Response to the Draft Covenant
- by the Anglican Church of Canada
- 1. The Anglican Church of Canada takes very seriously its mutual responsibility and interdependence in the Body of Christ, and specifically its participation in the life of the Anglican Communion. We welcome the invitation to covenant if it means that the mission of the church is being strengthened as we partner together. To that end, our church has diligently participated in various processes and responded to various documents which have sought to deepen and enhance the Communion and give expression to our common life.
- 2. In particular we highlight the responses of our Province to:
- - a. ‘Belonging Together’ (response in 1992)
- - b. 'The Virginia Report' (response in 2001)
- - c. 'The Windsor Report' (response in 2005 and 2007)
- 3. In addition we have responded to ecumenical documents in which Anglicans have been involved: agreed statements with Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox, and World Council of Churches’ documents such as 'Baptism Eucharist and Ministry'.
- 4. In the process of developing such responses, we have consulted widely with parishes, dioceses, and our internal provinces, and have tested the responses through our constitutional processes.
- 5. We are now being asked to respond to 'An Anglican Covenant: A Draft for Discussion'. At the General Synod of 2007 we committed ourselves to ‘the development and possible adoption of an Anglican covenant’. However, the timeframe proposed is impossibly short for us to engage in the adequate process of discernment and affirmation that our polity requires. The Covenant is an extremely important proposal, with longterm implications for all Anglicans, and we will need to take more time to prepare a response that truly speaks for the Anglican Church of Canada. Thus all we can do at this point is to repeat affirmations we have previously made and concerns we have raised, to offer some comment about the shape of the proposed draft covenant, and to ask some critical questions of the text in the light of those affirmations and concerns.
- 6. General Synod in 2007 endorsed a response to the 'Windsor Report'. We commend the whole document for consideration by the Covenant Design Group and the instruments of communion, and wish to emphasize especially in this context paragraphs 30 & 31:
- - 30. We affirm the idea of developing an Anglican Covenant, noting the call of Windsor that it be developed through a “long-term process, in an educative context, be considered for real debate and agreement on its adoption as a solemn witness to communion.” (118) We are committed to such a long-term process and would hope that such a covenant would promote mutual responsibility and interdependence within the Communion. We have reservations about the constitutional tone of the example provided in the Windsor Report. We find that example too detailed in its proposals and we are concerned that such a model might foster the development of a complex bureaucratic structure which might stifle change and growth in mission and ministry. We would prefer a shortened and simplified covenant, perhaps based on the model of the baptismal covenant, or ecumenical covenants such as the Waterloo Declaration between the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, or the covenant proposed by the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Mission and Evangelism. We value the Ten Principles of Partnership cited in Appendix 3 of Windsor and would hope that they inform the drafting of a covenant. We affirm that any group given the responsibility of developing an Anglican Covenant needs to be broadly representative of the membership of the Church, including men and women, clergy and lay people, a variety of geographical regions and theological emphases.
- - 31. The Covenant process could provide a place where the evolving structures of the Communion can be discussed and agreed upon. The current practice seems to be the development of ad hoc agreements or actions based on reports which have not yet been received by the whole Communion. We affirm that “we do not favour the accumulation of formal power by the Instruments of Unity, or the establishment of any kind of central ‘curia’ for the Communion.” (105) In responding to the Virginia Report in 2001, many Canadians felt that the present structures serve well when used fully and creatively. “The personal and relational life of the Church is always prior to the structural. … Right structuring and right ordering provide channels by which, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the mind of Christ is discerned, the right conduct of the Church encouraged and the gifts of the many are drawn upon in the service and mission of the Church.” ('Virginia Report', 5.4) We would be wary of the over-development of structures which would make it difficult for the Church to respond quickly and easily to fulfill its mission in its local context. We are distrustful of the development of structural changes driven primarily by issues and in the midst of acute crisis.
- 7. The report of the Covenant drafting Group requests from Provinces an initial response to the fundamental shape of the covenant. We have experience in Canada of two previous covenants. The ‘New Covenant’ of 1994 is an invitation from indigenous peoples for the rest of the church to walk with them in partnership in a particular way. The ‘Waterloo Declaration’ of 2001 is also a relational covenant. In that Declaration, Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada declared themselves to be in full communion on the basis of a shared history and an affirmation of shared convictions. As churches in full communion we then made commitments to one another to ensure the closest possible collaboration and consultation to further our common mission in Christ. We believe that this shape of telling our common story, making common affirmations, and making commitments that arise from these is a helpful model.
- 8. Thus in this case, our approach was to analyze the motivation for the current draft; to assess the strategy employed to achieve that motivation and to examine the broad outline of how well that strategy has been achieved. With that in mind, we believe that there appears to be an overall consistency in both intent and presentation in the shape of the Covenant Design Group draft but the text itself could obviously be improved by careful editing. As already indicated, we are not able at this time to express an appropriate measure of consent to this text, as requested in the report of the Covenant Design Group, but study is continuing throughout our church.
- 9. We appreciate the emphasis on mission in the preamble to the document. We believe that the call to common mission could effectively become the central organizing principle of the covenant, and that this would be a faithful expression of the Anglican Communion’s vocation to proclaim the good news afresh in every generation. It would, however, require a shift in emphasis and ordering of the remaining sections of the document.
- 10. We also understand that our common mission originates in and returns to the eucharistic fellowship which is established by God the Holy Trinity. Only at the table of the Lord can we discern our common calling and be fed by common food for the journey.
- 11. We recognize that the community falls into disputes, and may need to have agreed upon means of resolving those conflicts as we stay at the table. However, we are troubled by Sections 5 & 6. Section 6 is an attempt to describe those means, but these sections have aspects which are non-synodical and raise serious concerns that will require broad consultation both in the Anglican Church of Canada and throughout the Communion. We are particularly concerned about 6.6. and the potential role and power of the Primates’ Meeting. We stress, as noted in para 31 of our response to Windsor, that this process needs to unfold over a much longer period of time, lest we create structures only in response to a particular crisis.
- 12. We thank the Covenant Design Group for their careful work on behalf of the Anglican Communion which we all love.

- Notes
- Following a first meeting at Holy Cross Monastery at West Park, New York, in November 1999, a group of Anglican bishops, representing a wide range of perspectives and backgrounds, met from 6-10 December 2000 at Alton Abbey, Hampshire, England. The "participants continued conversations on human sexuality and the call to Christian holiness. The conversations noted events in our Communion since November 1999, including the consecrations in Singapore, the meeting of Primates in Portugal and the General Convention of the ECUSA in Denver, U.S.A.." The group included the Rt. Rev. Terence Finlay Anglican Bishop of Toronto.

- Notes
- Text of enthronement sermon preached 27 February 2003 based on the text Matthew 11:25-30. "The one great purpose of the Church's existence is to share that bread of life; to hold open in its words and actions a place where we can be with Jesus and to be channels for his free, unanxious, utterly demanding, grown-up love. The Church exists to pass on the promise of Jesus -- `You can live in the presence of God without fear; you can receive from his fullness and set others free from fear and guilt'. And, as with all secrets, people will react with a mixture of that fascination and alarm we began with. Here is the secret of our true identity -- we are made to be God's children and to find our most profound freedom in surrender to him. We only become completely human when we allow God to remake us." "We have to learn to be human alongside all sorts of others, the ones whose company we don't greatly like, the ones we didn't choose, because Jesus is drawing us together into his place, into his company". "Living in Jesus' company, I have to live in a community that is more than just the gathering of those who happen to agree with me, because I need also to be surprised and challenged by the Jesus each of you have experienced. .... Does there come a point where we can't recognise the same Jesus, the same secret ? The Anglican Church is often accused of having no way of answering this. But I don't believe it; we read the same Bible and practise the same sacraments and say the same creeds. But I also believe that we have the very best of reasons for hesitating to identify such a point too quickly or easily -- because we believe in a Jesus who is truly Lord and God, not the prisoner of my current thoughts or experiences". "The Church of the future, I believe, will do both its prophetic and pastoral work effectively only if it is concerned first with gratitude and joy; orthodoxy flows from this, not the other way around, and we don't solve our deepest problems just by better discipline but by better discipleship, a fuller entry into the intimate joy of Jesus' life".

- "Adrian Hastings saw the main theme of Archbishop Runcie's primacy as the search for an appropriate Anglican style of authority. Avis himself wrote in 1986. 'Dissatisfaction with the Church of England centres on the question of authority'. The lust for infallible authorities seems to grow rather than be outgrown. And it is not only in Anglicanism, or the churches in general, that authority questions are of vital contemporary importance". -- Foreword.
- In this book "I attempt to set up a dialogue between biblical and theological views of authority, on the one hand, and what the social sciences and management studies can teach us on the other. .... In this book I am wrestling with the three specific themes of liberating authority, therapeutic leadership and constructive conflict". -- Preface.

- Notes
- "A new theologically conservative, North American Anglican denomination is being born this month. It is a move that is to be both respected and mourned. The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is the result of a marriage of 12 church organizations that have broken with the Anglican Church of Canada and The Episcopal Church. ACNA will have 28 dioceses across North America, and one of those dioceses will consist of all of those Anglican churches that belong to the Anglican Network in Canada". "The Anglican Church in North America says it has about 100,000 members, of which about 3,500 are spread across Canada. It is led by Archbishop-designate Robert Duncan, the former Episcopal bishop of Pittsburgh." "There are, thankfully, many conservative Anglicans who have decided to remain within the Anglican Church of Canada. The church needs to hear their voice there needs to be theological space to listen to each other ... The Anglican Church of Canada, as a small part of the body of Christ, is strong enough to tolerate differences of opinion and pliable enough to change."
