- Notes
- A description of the world wide Anglican Communion and a discussion about Anglican identity which also discusses the use of the terms "Anglican" and "Episcopal". "It is obvious from history that some people are reluctant to use the word Anglican or reluctant to use the word Episcopal. Whatever reasoning, or whatever history may give us to ponder, the reality is in a communication age such as ours, we need to get our identity at least as defined as possible. It is my hope that we can encourage churches that are now members of the Anglican Communion to use both words Episcopal and Anglican in all their promotions, advertisements, signage and notice boards. ... I do think on an international level it will always be wise to refer to the Communion in the future as `The Anglican Episcopal Communion'."
- Also mentions that "Some day I would also hope that there would be more of a consensus on how we title those who hold offices in our Church."
