- Notes
- The Inter Anglican Standing Committee on Mission and Evangelism (IASCOME) met for the last time in Larnaca, Cyprus, in February 2005. The committee, is composed of 21 persons from 18 nations and chaired by the Rt. Rev. Sebastian Bakare, Bishop of Manicaland, Zimbabwe. (Committee includes Dr. Eleanor (Ellie) Johnson, Anglican Church of Canada, who is pictured standing at far left of photo. See also photo p. 43.) The Committee proposed that a nine-point Covenant for Communion in Mission be prepared "as one of the ways in which churches, dioceses and parish/congregations could express their practical commitment to each other in their mission relationships". "It was suggested that alongside the terms partners or companions in mission, the words `friends' and `friendship' well reflected the quality of relationship that Jesus offered to those who followed him, and that his followers should offer each other". "The Commission will be presenting its substantial report, `Communion : Relationships in Mission', to the ACC [Anglican Consultative Council meeting in Nottingham, with plans to publish it for wider circulation as a source for study and stimulus to the wider Communion". Includes a brief listing of the Committee's accomplishments since its formation in 2000 as successor to MISSIO.
