Study guide of the Anglican Communion Covenant

Tuesday March 8th 2011

A study guide and a Questions and Answers document has been published to assist people exploring the Anglican Communion Covenant.

The study guide (available as a pdf document) from the Anglican Communion website (www.anglicancommunion.org) is intended for parishes, deaneries, dioceses or groups of individuals wishing to explore the Covenant and the way it describes Anglican identity.

It contains the text of the Anglican Communion Covenant interspersed with summaries of the material. Communion members are invited to download the guide and to adapt it for their own context. There is also a set of Questions & Answers about the Covenant that seeks to address some commonly asked questions. Neither document is a definitive commentary on the Covenant.

These resources were produced as a result of a meeting of the Inter-Anglican Standing Committee on Unity Faith and Order (IASCUFO) in 2009. A working group of IASCUFO has now completed this commission. There is a suggestion that people may be interested in including some of the material for use in parish bulletins, diocesan newspapers or other church communication channels.

The working group of IASCUFO includes the Rt Rev Victoria Matthews, Bishop of Christchurch, New Zealand (convenor); the Rt Rev Kumara Ilangasinghe, recently retired Bishop of Kurunagala, Church of Ceylon; and the Rev Dr Simon Oliver, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Nottingham.
