Executive Council: Day One

Episcopal Life has published a report on the first day of the Executive Council meeting.

We found it noteworthy to read that Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori met with the Archbishop of Canterbury last week. So far as we have found, no information about that meeting has been published.

The story includes highlights of the reports of the Presiding Bishop and the President of the House of Deputies (Bonnie Anderson). A long segment recounts the presentation of Davis Mac-Iyalla, a 33-year-old Nigerian Anglican and founder of his country's only gay-rights organization.

It appears that the next two days will be dedicated to committee meetings and discussions, and that the Executive Council will not respond to the primates' Tanzania communiqué until June 14.
