Resolution C007
Title: Anglican Consultative Council Appropriation
Topic:
Committee: Special Legislative Committee
House of Initial Action: Bishops
Proposer: Diocese of Newark
Resolved,
the House of _____ concurring, That if the full amount requested by the ACC is approved in the proposed budget for the triennium 2007-2009, the amount in excess of 2003-2006 be held in escrow until such time that the ACC members from The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada are reinstated as full members with seat, voice and vote; and, be it further
Resolved,
That none of the money in escrow be released for payment until we are assured that all bishops with jurisdiction in the Episcopal Church will be invited to attend as full and equal participants at the
Lambeth
Conference.
EXPLANATION
The Executive Council voted to accede to the request that the three elected members from the Episcopal Church not participate in ACC meetings, and therefore we believe that at least the increased appropriation should not be met until we are once again full participants.
