Archbishop's Response to New York Statement by TEC

Wednesday 13th September 2006

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has responded today to the statement issued earlier today from the meeting of bishops of The Episcopal Church (TEC) being held in New York.

Dr Williams said:

"It's a positive sign that these difficult conversations have been taking place in a frank and honest way. There is clearly a process at work and although it hasn't yet come to fruition, the openness and charity in which views are being shared and options discussed are nevertheless signs of hope for the future. Our prayers continue."
