Suzanne Lawson (Ang. Ch. of Canada) on ACC—15: Regional meetings, Bible reading, and Island dancing
One of the interesting things that has been put in place by the organizers/designers of this meeting has been the addition of Regional Meetings…as a region (in our case, North America), we have gathered now three times to discuss topics from our somewhat common position geographically. So, we’ve been meeting with our colleagues from The Episcopal Church. The discussions have been fruitful and energetic. We have dug deeply into the topics of the agenda, yesterday, into the environmental concerns. We are keeping notes of our work, and have taken the interesting step of seeing whether we can meet as a group mid-way between the ACC meetings, to keep ourselves on track with what we say we might do to respond to these topics. I’m taking on organizing the meetings…many timetables to juggle, including the Presiding Bishop of TEC and the Chair of its House of Deputies. But I think it will give us more of a sense of being active members of this Council, rather than simply people who go to meetings. And when the meetings are every 3 1/2 to 4 years, it’s hard to keep a sense of continuity.
Read it all.

A remarkable account, notably for its absence of any real Christian spirituality. The word ‘Bible’ is mentioned once or twice, but it is essentially a tourist’s account.
The contrast with orthodox messages, e.g. the account by +Martins of his visit to the Global South Primates meeting earlier in the year, is stark.
