From The Living Church-
The Anglican Consultative Council has chosen a diverse slate of leaders for its standing committee.
The Rt. Rev. James Tengatenga, the ACC’s chairman, reminded members
of their constitutional mandate to consider “the desirability of
achieving (so far as practicable) appropriate regional diversity and a
balance of representation between clergy and laity and between the
genders.”
Delegates chose a new vice chairwoman and five standing committee
members from provinces that represent the Communion’s worldwide mission
as well as a diversity of positions on the issues testing the stability
of its union. In most cases, members of the standing committee serve for
six years.
ACC’s seven members on the standing committee work with five members
elected by the Primates’ Meeting to guide the Communion’s life and work
between ACC meetings, which are held every two to three years. The
chairman and vice chairwoman of the ACC also lead the standing
committee.
