- That this House of Bishops request General Synod 2007 to establish a Task Force composed of members of the Orders of Bishops, Clergy and Laity to undertake a detailed and comprehensive study of the nature, role, duties and authority of the Primate including, if necessary, suggested changes to Canon III for consideration by General Synod 2010. CARRIED HB Res. 02-04-07
- Notes
- Archbishop Hutchison said that he was pleased that the bishops had decided to allow time for studying an issue which would have important implications. He also said that as Primate, he had enjoyed not having jurisdiction with respect to legal matters in a diocese, except for those affecting the national office. He informed the bishops that if the Primate maintained diocesan jurisdiction then the Primate would also be in canonical obedience to one of the metropolitans.
