- Resolution 72: Episcopal Responsibilities and Diocesan Boundaries
- Text: This Conference:
- 1. reaffirms its unity in the historical position of respect for diocesan boundaries and the authority of bishops within these boundaries; and in light of the above
- 2. affirms that it is deemed inappropriate behaviour for any bishop or priest of this Communion to exercise episcopal or pastoral ministry within another diocese without first obtaining the permission and invitation of the ecclesial authority thereof.
- 3. urges all political and community leaders to seize every opportunity to work together to bring about a just and peaceful solution.
- Notes: With the number of issues that could threaten our unity it seems fair that we should speak of our mutual respect for one another, and the positions we hold, that serves as a sign of or unity.
