Anglican Archbishop Calls for New Executive Leadership

From Christian Post-

The Anglican Communion should reshuffle its executive leadership, said a conservative archbishop who has resigned from the body citing its failure to challenge liberal developments in two Western national churches.

He pointed out that Western churches have been smothering opposition to their acceptance of homosexuality from churches they are financially supporting by threatening to withdraw that aid.

“The current ACC and SCAC (the executive body of the Anglican Communion) should resign,” said The Most Reverend Dr Mouneer H Anis, who leads the physically largest and most diverse Anglican province.

He said: “It is incomprehensible to think of dioceses (an administrative territorial unit administered by a bishop) or provinces (mostly national or regional churches but also city or subnational churches) that have not committed themselves to covenantal relationship to participate in the decision making processes that affect the life of those dioceses or provinces that have adopted and signed the Covenant. A new Anglican Consultative Council and SCAC, or at the very least an ad hoc Standing Committee, must be formed.”

The archbishop was expressing his personal views on the Anglican Covenant in his January 30 letter of resignation from the standing committee of the executive body of the worldwide Anglican Communion because of its failure to challenge, in its December 2009 meeting, The Episcopal Church’s (the U.S. national church) recent public declarations that homosexuals may be appointed as pastors and bishops and that the church may bless same-sex unions.
