9am For immediate release.
At a meeting of the Councils of Church Society, the Fellowship of Word and
Spirit, and Reform held last week those present:
• Affirmed their commitment to the supreme authority of the Word of God
and noted that this is the express position of the Church of England;
• agreed that they continue to be strongly united in opposition to the proposals
to consecrate women as Bishops, since such an innovation would be contrary to
the Word of God; and,
• agreed to call upon the Primates of the Anglican Communion to declare
ECUSA and the Diocese of New Westminster, and Bishops supportive of them, out
of Communion unless and until they repent for the actions they have taken, and
further that those seeking to provide oversight to those opposed to such actions
are acting as faithful Anglicans and should not regret or apologise for providing
oversight.
