“At Council 2008, we look forward to sharing first-hand accounts about GAFCON, assessments of Lambeth, a report on the phenomenal growth recently of the Church of Nigeria, and an update on the progress of Common Cause.
“An important action of this Council will be the election of an Executive Committee which will represent Council when it is out of session.
“We will share news about the progress of CANA's Vocations process, Clergy Deployment system, church planting, and mission partnerships. And we will begin to explore the opportunities we have to shape a new American Prayer Book, our Convocation’s constitution and canons, and the next generation of Anglican leaders.”
From the Scriptures
“Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
“Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
