The Theological Task Force on Holy Orders met March 20-21, 2014, at St. Vincent’s Cathedral, Bedford, Texas. In this meeting we completed a first draft of the Phase Three document, “Developing Principles of Anglican Ecclesiology Concerning Holy Orders,” drawing on the foundational documents of the Anglican Church in North America.
All members of the Task Force were present and engaged in examination of the foundational documents. We continue to make progress in preparing a report to the College of Bishops in time for its June meeting.
The members of the Task Force on Holy Orders would like to express our gratitude to Bishop Jack Iker, Dean Reed and the cathedral staff for their hospitality in hosting our meeting.
Sincerely,
The Task Force on Holy Orders
