The Acts of Convention

Resolved, That the General Convention, (1) reaffirm its acceptance of the Constitution of the Anglican Consultative Council and more especially that section of the Constitution dealing with "Functions", reminding our Church that the Anglican Consultative Council is an advisory, consultative, and not a legislative body, and therefore speaks to the member Churches but not for them; (2) instruct our elected representatives to the Anglican Consultative Council to keep lines of communication open to the Executive Council and the House of Bishops, and report formally to each meeting of the General Convention of this Church; (3) express our confidence in the present process of selecting representatives to the Anglican Consultative Council, urging that at least the following criteria be given consideration in electing those representatives:

(a). Representatives should possess a demonstrated knowledge of and concern for the world mission of the Church;

(b). Representatives should have a participatory knowledge of and work experience in the life of the Episcopal Church;

(c). Representatives should possess a close and effective relationship with the decision-making process of the Episcopal Church.
