- Toronto, Feb. 14, 1986 -- For immediate release
- The list reads like a religious United Nations, which is appropriate because the international family of Anglicanism reaches literally into every part of the globe. Each member Church of the Anglican Communion has a Primate or Chief Archbishop. There are twenty-eight of them, and they will all gather at Queen of Apostles Renewal Centre in Mississauga from March 12 to 16. The chairman of the gathering is the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Robert Runcie. A complete list of the Primates and their jurisdictions is attached.
- This gathering is held approximately every three years, the most recent being at Limuru, Kenya in 1983. At the Mississauga event the Council of Christian Churches of the People's Republic of China will be represented by Bishop K.H. Ting.
- Among the issues to be discussed by the Primates are:
- - Church-State relationships and major international tensions
- - The Ordination of women to both the Priesthood and Episcopate
- - Admission of children to Holy Communion
- - Ecumenical affairs
- - Preparations for the Lambeth Conference (of all Anglican Bishops in the world) in 1988
- The discussion sessions will be in camera. However, individual Primates will be available, as time and personal commitments allow, for feature interviews. Also there will be daily media briefings as follows: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, March 12-14, 4:45 pm; Saturday, March 15, 12:30 pm.
- These briefings will include either the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Rev. Canon Sam Van Culin who is Secretary-General of the Anglican Consultative Council along with others each day.
- On Sunday, March 16 at 4:00 pm the Archbishop of Canterbury will be the preacher at a special service at St. Paul's Church, Bloor Street (at Jarvis) which will be attended by all the Primates and Standing Committee members.
- There will also be a media conference for the launching of the Inter-Anglican Theological and Doctrinal Committee's Report "For the Sake of the Kingdom" (see separate media release) on Tuesday, March 18 at 10:30 a.m. at Church House, 600 Jarvis Street. Archbishop Runcie, Canon Van Culin, Archbishop Scott and others will be in attendance.
